5 facts

Why I chose this topic
The reason i chose this topic is because i feel sorry for those women and I'm glad in today's time most of us are treated equal. social status, work, voting rights, etc. I also don't know how it feels to not have any rights but I'm glad we don't have to suffer like they did
