History
recalls
In many countries today women have the same rights as men. They have the right to own property, to get an education, to work at any job they choose. They have the right to vote, to be elected president or prime minister of their country. But it has not always been this way. Women called feminists worked for many years to get these rights.
"In my simple worldview, if you believe in equality, you should be a feminist."
Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's Prime Minister
