1. Introduction
The development of world history is impossible without some radical changes and improvements, still, the changes which had to be experienced women seemed to be a bit cruel. For centuries, they have been living in the shadow of men, not being appreciated for their abilities and talents but expecting to do all the routine work at homes. The paper dwells upon the issues of women’s emancipation and their inclusion into the social, economic and political life of the community to show how important their role is for the sustainable development of the world.
2. World History and Women: the Key Connection
2.1 Women in Pre-Modern Times
Though the position of women has improved greatly over centuries, it is still not equal to that of men. In many cultures, women are seen as submissive beings who should follow orders and please their husbands or fathers instead of having an opinion of their own. From the very birth, they are given different toys to play with and are encouraged to develop “feminine” skills such as cooking and sewing while boys are brought up to be strong and Independent. This difference in treatment continues throughout life as women are not expected to achieve anything significant or hold an important job while men are encouraged to be providers and leaders. As a result, women have always been seen as inferior beings who are not capable of making decisions or contributing to society in a meaningful way.
The situation started to change only in recent centuries as more and more women began to challenge these traditional roles. In many parts of the world, they now have the same opportunities as men to get an education, hold a job, and participate in politics. However, there are still many countries where women do not have these rights and are treated like property instead of human beings. As long as this inequality exists, it will be difficult for women to achieve their full potential and make a meaningful contribution to the development of the world.
