Since 1848, women in America have fought to have the same rights and treatment as men. Years of protest have changed little to almost nothing on how many people see women fighting for justice, but as women complaining about their life. This was all to be changed in 1995 as the first lady gave a speech that would change the minds of many, and even the world. Hillary Clinton was at the U.N world conference on women when she had given her most iconic speech. Her speech was able to reach the hearts…

The Women’s Rights Movement is said to have reached its peak when women were given the right to vote, but we know this is not true as women still fight for what they think is their right to abortion and equal pay.

He dies abandoned by the woman whom he truly loves, and his wife does not mourn him. Jeff said in class that there is nothing more dangerous than sexuality in Hardy’s novels. I disagree. While sexuality…
