Feminism

                 I am planning to write my essay about Feminism. In the novel, Things Fall Apart, there are two very different views on women. There is the Africa and England view on women. Women are treated different in every country around the world.
                In Africa the men are always above the women. Women are treated and looked upon as items or slaves only and nothing more. Early on in the book, Okonkwo was described as "cut out for great things" (Page 7), since he was married to three women. Then later on, Okonkwo gets angry at his first wife just for asking a simple question. "Do what you are told, women", was his response follow by "When did you become one of the ndichie of Umuofia". He is basically insulting her just for asking a question.Very early on in the book, a wife of their tribe was killed by another rival tribe and it was let go pretty lightly. It was a simple trade for a virgin and a young boy in exchange of his dead wife. Other countries would view this and just think that it's stupid. The death of his own wife doesn't even effect him emotionally.
                 English women on the other hand, have the same rights as their men do. In England, they can have a queen as their ruler without discrimination. The fact that gender don't matter when it comes to ruling shows a lot of respect for women. They can have a king or a queen, it doesn't matter. This shows that women have the same rights as men do in this country, but that's not to say they're perfect. I'm sure there are discrimination , they're just not pointed out as much.
                Either way you look at it, there are always going to be discrimination against women. We're all different no matter what, so we're always going to be treated differently. An example would be, typically, women are weaker on strength compare to men. They'd have to do more heavy duty labor than women do. That is not to say that everyone is like that, because there are some women who are stronger than the average man.
