Duringhe last century large ideas have been circulating around the globe. None are more powerful than the idea of liberation, and to that extent the libration of women. It is hard to live in a world where women are not as hinder by men as in other countries, but with the concept of globalization comes the meshing of cultures, and with this meshing comes women with the idea of freedom. In the 1960's civil rights lead African Americans , and Hispanic Americans to rise up, In western Europe people were also driven by civil rights but this was more so for the women. Books became the driving force for all campaigns. Authors such as Simon Beauvoir arugued that women had long been classified by the other weaker sex, in effort to help establish rights over their bodies women also signed documents stating they had undergone abortions which at the time was illegal.
Women were trying to identify with the feminist mysitic which argued that they were unsatisfied with motherhood and marriage and in an effort to escape those boundries they took on the feminist movement to educate themselves and create jobs for themselves.
This is a far cry from what women now days see themselves as. It is eye opening and expressive.
