Women's Suffrage in Canada and USA
The twentieth century was a significant time in Canada where women respectively gained their right for equality among men through the actions and tough times they have done to helped Canada go through, in times of warfare; they aided on the battlefield, kept the economy running when the men were overseas and they eventually ran for office in the House of Commons. Men overlooked women in the past with much disregard for the abilities that they are capable of. Women were seen in society as housewives that are made for tending the house, cooking, cleaning and looking after the children. They never received as much as education as men since their roles in society never needed them; therefore, jobs such as lawyers, politicians, and business owners weren’t available to them. Aside from less job opportunities, women who contribute to society as well, never got the right to vote because they were argued to be less intelligent and less capable of making political decisions than men.

Women have gone through a lot of hardships in history to gain equality among men in society. Fortunately, in today’s society, women can be viewed as equal to men as there are more women in professions such as the field of engineering, doctors, company CEOs or business owners, politicians and other jobs that were male dominated starting from the 1980s. However, in some societies, women are still looked down on such as some third countries that view women as only birth givers and household tenders. Many unfair restrictions are put on women such as Afghanistan where women have to be fully clothed in public from head to toe with veils over their faces in the hot scorching weather. Such cultural traditions are too conservative to allow women to stand out and diversify. I hope one-day women will have equality in the world in every society.
