HIST 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Ceteris Paribus, Chauvinism
Document Summary
The global fight for and against women is unending after a series of conferences, discussions, and analysis over the years. How a society treats women is highly dependent on that society"s culture ceteris paribus. Importantly, the fight for women is not only a task carried by women but also with some men as well. While some men disregard women in a number of issues, some women fight against other women (smith, 2014). Male chauvinism does not only affect males but also females. Historians, however, have made attempts to find the women"s space in society. The modern world has a relatively better position for women than the ancient world. Smith focuses on women"s fate and position in the ancient world as well as by present society in. Smith explores on the women"s production, influence, and political activism. Women are stylistic and fashioners by nature and by history, the majority of women desire new things.
