Furthermore, when we talk about women, there are a lot of things related to this topic。 Women, a group of great female in our world, play an important role in our  society。  However,  Women  once  faced  many  disadvantages  in  society。 Before 1960s, women were regarded inferior to men, a woman was supposed to obey her husband when married him。 And her husband became the legal representatives of the marriage and gained complete control of her poverty。 They had to stay at home to take care of the children, the families, and did the housework。 Most of them were illiterate because they could not enjoy the equal rights in education。 Though Some of them have a chance to go to school, they were forced to quit even before they finished the primary school。 At that time, even women themselves held that they were born to be the servants for their husbands or their families。
