A not so long, long time ago…….
Women didn’t have their own bank accounts
Women couldn’t own their own home
Women couldn’t own land
Women couldn’t vote
Women couldn’t do certain jobs
Women got married, would go and live with their husbands family, take their husbands family name and give their children their husband’s family name.
AND NOW…….
Women have their own bank accounts
Women own their own homes
Women own land
Women can vote
Women can do any job
Women get married and take their husbands name and give their children their husband’s family name.
