In many places both past and present, women have been treated very poorly. They weren't given the same rights or opportunities as men.
In America, the treatment of women has come a long way. For a long time women couldn't vote. In 1920, Amendment 19 was passed. It stated that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex".
Even after women were given the right to vote, they still didn't have as many opportunities as men did. Women had "their place" which was at home cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids. Now women can go to work just like men and pursue a career.
