Throughout history, women have fought for equality and rights from their male counterparts and through years and yeas of trying they eventually managed to get the right to vote in the 19th/20th century. As women eventually got the vote and were being more recognised for their impotence in society, the debate of feminism widened to a range of issues: sexuality, family and the workplace. Feminism is still and issue in society as we hear of stories of women being victimised at work or turned into sexual objects by the media.
