Women fighting for their rights

Women couldn't vote in the 19th century, but Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter founded a group called "The suffragettes". The Prime Minister ignored their petitions to let women vote, and they started protests and campaigns to achieve the women's right to vote. Finally, after the World War I, women after the start of war did the men's jobs and every woman over thirty years old could vote. In 1918, British women over 18 years old were allowed to vote. In New Zealand, this right is allowed since 1893, and in Spain women had to wait until 1931.

Nowadays, we can find gender discrimination at work and, the number of female workers has decreased. That's because they have to work twice: At work and at home.
