And now for the story:
Title: Women as property: No rights under the law - Part 1
Excerpt: It is hard to believe but women were not always persons. They were not individuals and so they had no rights. Women were properties of their father and when they got married they became property of their husbands. Because they were property and not people, the history of women worldwide is not particularly fair. Women's rights have long been neglected and remain this way in many parts of the world. Thankfully women in Europe and North America have made many gains in women's issues and human rights. We will look at these amazing women from poets, to suffragettes, to feminists and beyond, in this women's series.
