Women\'s Rights

take for granted the rights and benefits which we have. We forget that in other times,

women were not considered to be equal to their male counterparts; they were considered

to be but “helpers” to the men with whom they lived. So how did society’s ethics

and values come to the present state where women in America supposedly have the same

rights as men do? Where we can vote, work outside of the home, and be educated?

Though we do not often consider it, we owe much of these everyday freedoms to women

of the past, who struggled and pushed for equal rights and recognition. Their

determination helped us gain increased education, economic status, and political rights,

Throughout history women, men, and children have been brought up in the church

and countless live how the church tells them to live. Even if this meant that women did

not have jobs outside of the house because God said so. There are five lies that the church

told women and each one makes less sense then the next:

* “God created women as inferior, destined to serve their husbands”
