The women's rights movement has made significant strides globally, but its impact varies widely across different regions and cultures. Historically, women faced a myriad of societal limitations, often confined to roles as housewives and were heavily dependent on male family members.

5) Why is it important to understand the impact of the women's rights movement across the world?
Choose a country to discuss their approach on women's rights.
Ex: It is to place importance on not just white women but women of color as well. Their lives matter just as much as white women and it is not discussed enough in our education. Also, women of color didn't achieve the right to vote until around the 1950's - 1960's meanwhile white women achieved it around the 1920's through the 19th Amendment. This suggests that Latina America is progressing at a slower pace than America. This is a Problem because women of color are being underrepresented and that stigma follows them into the workforce. Therefore, it is the reason why their wages are lower than an American woman and it crosses over to the issues with minorities.
4) What about women's rights across cultures? How are they treated in their country? Have women achieved this movement in their country?
Ex: In Latin America, women get paid lower than the average American woman. This is because of traditional views that are still dominant in Latin America. Being a Latina myself, I have seen this male dominance prevalent in Colombia. When I visited my relatives, my uncle was the one providing for his family and his wife would stay and cook. When he got back from work, he expected food to be prepared for him.
