in order to prove themselves as being worthy. The
obstacles varied between women of different
background, including their status in class, as
well as their race. They all had one thing in
common though, which was the fact that they were

the fact that their gender was female. Thus,
women's roles were seen as b...

that come with it. Many societies have portrayed
women as second class citizens, teaching that they
should be subservient to men. There have been
those who have spent entire lifetimes working to

power. It is very challenging, however, for the
sex to achieve higher status, when a society
