Study Notes

International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8th every year to recognize female achievements and advocate for women's rights and gender equality.
Throughout history, women have had to fight for basic rights like voting, education, property ownership, and equal pay, which were not granted to them 150 years ago.
The fight for women's suffrage, led by activists like Emmeline Pankhurst, involved protests, rallies, and strikes, with women facing arrests, injuries, and even deaths in the pursuit of voting rights.
In 1918, the Representation of the People Act was passed in the UK, granting some women the right to vote, but it wasn't until 1928 that all women over 21 were allowed to vote.
Gender equality today involves challenging stereotypes, addressing underrepresentation in leadership roles and certain career fields, and advocating for equal pay and opportunities for all genders.
