Intelligence & Inspiration

Can you live without women?

Women are the inherent part of our society and cannot be
neglected due to their less power and authority. She plays roles as a
friend, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife. They play their roles with
great responsibilities in upbringing of a healthy solid society, but she is
in our so called modern world, still living in chains.

You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman;
you educate a generation. These all are the basic fundamentals of a
good society and women are the main contributors in building up a
strong society. Someone said once that I dont understand why do we
always have to be interested in men and their battles; the history of
woman is often more interesting.


Women from Ancient Times
Marriages in ancient Babylon, under Hammurabis
Code, were a contract. The marriages were usually
arranged by the father or brother of the bride and the
bride rarely had any property to call her own. The
contracts involved in the marriage usually stated what
would happen to the wife in the event that the marriage
ended through divorce or death, though there were
sometimes other details added to the contracts, such as
requirements that the bride become a servant to her new
mother-in-law.
Women in ancient Egypt were treated quite differently
from those in ancient Babylon. The Egyptians saw families as a
source of happiness, giving the women a more important role in
the lives of their husbands. Women in Egypt married more for
love, though unlike the arranged marriages in many other
nations during these times.

In Ancient Rome, women included a little of what we see
in both ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt. Women of ancient
Rome were under the rule of their fathers until the time of a
carefully arranged marriage, at which point they were subject to
the rules of their husbands.
Much like the women of ancient
Babylon and ancient Rome, the women
of Ancient Greece also had very little
freedom. Many philosophers in ancient
Athens believed that women were very
weak minded. As a result, these women
remained under the constant rule of a
kyrios (husband, father, or other close
male relative). Marriages were
arranged for women, who were
married shortly after puberty to men
much older than them.
International Women's Day has been observed since in
the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the
industrialized world that saw booming population growth and
the rise of radical ideologies.

A woman named Clara Zetkin (Leader of the 'Women's Office' for
the Social Democratic Party in Germany) tabled the idea of an
International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every
country there should be a celebration on the same day - a Women's Day -
to press for their demands.

No women, no World
During ancient times, women played an important role
within their homes; however, the way they were viewed within their
homes and communities varied greatly within each nation. Women in
ancient times were often subjected to the rules of their husbands and
fathers, being seen as property rather than as equal beings.
Many were deprived of many of the freedom enjoyed by
women in present times, who now have the right to own their own
belongings, to marry for love (though many countries still practice
arranged marriages), and to speak out for themselves.
