Women's Fight For Suffragettes

Women play a big role in life. Women are bright, smart, beautiful, pure, and strong. “This is a man’s world, but it would be nothing without a woman or a girl” (Brown James). This song speaks so much about society, that yes, men have always been superior, but nothing would be the same without a woman or a girl. Back in the day, women were perceived as objects that were used to please men in any way possible. This had to come to an end and that is when women came together to fight for their rights.
