As an anthropologist who had lived for so long with women in communities where everyone was Muslim, she was forced to reflect on what she could do with the perspective her ethnographic work had given her. The first principle of ethnography, which contains participating in daily life, is to listen and watch, understand something about women’s lives, where women’s rights needed defending. This book is to figure out how to think about the question of Muslim women and their rights. After the attacks of September 11, 2001, the images of demoralized Muslim women became connected to a charge to saving them from their cultures. The stereotyping of the Terror made Muslim women a symbol of an alien culture.

Feminism had a slightly different meaning to many at the time but the general consensus was women needed, wanted and deserved “freedom”. Feminists called for equal work rights and the right to express their sexuality freely. An organization called the Feminist Alliance built apartments with daycare centers and cafeterias to allow women with children to enter the workforce (746). The rise of feminism and women in the workplace led to women fighting for the right to have access to birth control and to have freedom to have control over their own bodies. A controversial lecturer, Emma Goldman championed for women to have the right to birth control and was
To answer this question research will be made into how women were expected to act in western European society through nobility, townswomen and women that were considered peasants. This will be shown through varying views held as some believed that being a second class citizen depended on your class and where you were from as some women might have had more of a chance to step away from the sex classes, while others didn’t have this opportunity. This will help answer the question about whether or not women were second class citizens, and whether how right this question is about women or how wrong it is. If we look at noble women in the medieval ages between 1100-1400, they were able to have a happy life with wealth and riches that they could use at their disposal. Though there was more pressure on women in nobility compared to other women as they had more “demanded of them than other women.” While the husbands were at home they still had to obey them, this can’t be said though when the men go away for business, travel or for war because the women of the house would hold the authority.

Nannie Alderson (1942) describes the life of American women in the small towns of the West in her book A Bride Goes West. Some of the experts from the book point out to significant changes in the American people’s minds regarding the role that women played in society. In her book, Alderson also describes the reverse side of free relations and feminization. She writes, “Two-thirds of the women [engaged in prostitution] died young from sexually transmitted diseases, botched abortions, alcohol abuse, narcotics abuse, suicide, or murders.” The same shift in public mind regarding the family values is described in Galen’s Epitaph on a Tombstone.

She encouraged medical education for women and aided other women to aspire other careers. According to the article, Changing the Face of Medicine, By establishing the New York Infirmary in 1857, Elizabeth Blackwell offered a practical solution to one of the problems facing women who were rejected from internships elsewhere but determined to expand their skills as physicians. She also published several important books on the issue of women in medicine, including Medicine as a Profession for Women in 1860 and Address on the Medical Education of Women in 1864.

Silk production, for which China is famous, had already been invented before this time period began. The process began in Northern China. It involved feeding the silkworms mulberry leaves, helping them molt and spin their cocoons, and finally, boiling the cocoons to produce the raw silk.
