Until the 19th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little attention from most people Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status as their only option At this time, women shared
Trang 4these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite In the 19th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equally among men, significant numbers of women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well
At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men and women Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts-making, both of which took place in or near the home Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their children Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale enterprises The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s
“rightful place” was in the home while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics
Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves The first wave began around the mid-19th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage – that is, the right to vote This wave lasted the 1920s, when
several countries granted women suffrage

47 Until the 19 th century, the status of the working class men in the society was that …
A They had the same rights as women
B They had no right at all
C They did not have much power compared to the wealthy people
D They had much power in the society
48 Women’s movement started in Western countries ………
A In the 18th century B In the late 18th century
49 What did the effect of the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America bring
about?
A Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home
B It brought the equality to women
C Working class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society

indicate the best answer to the questions from 46 to 50
Trang 8It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first There
is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was housework In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women Men often considered women as their property Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate Many parents did not even want to daughters
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from generation to generation Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework such as washing and cooking
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas
