Women Rights As a student studying English literature, I, without doubt, have leart much about women rights when I was in univercity. Here I want to put down someting about my understanding about women right. Women rights movement firstly started as a political movement, that is, the struggle for voting rights. You must bear in mind that "democracy" is only for male citizens before women rights movement. After this movement, female citizens won their voting rights. The idea of "gender equality", in fact, origined from ancient Greece. But at time, people did not realise the physical difference between male and femal. What Plato was taking about was "equal on duty", and "equal on behavior" rather than "equal on rights". So there are some ridiculars conclusion in his book. After we solve the problem of political equality, there is another subject of "equal on social rights". When talking about this matter, we have to consider "how to practice". The reason why this question is important is just because of women's unique profit that shall be taken care of rising from their physical differences with men. Say that weather we shall spare "women-only area" in public places? What to do if a woman carrying a baby need breed her child? How to solve the problem of gender discrimination in job-hunting caused by boss' consideration of "women's affair" or "women's duty"? These are all of great importance.
