Two Great Women

• Indira Ghandhi was elected prime minister in 1966
  after her father died.
• Indira continued many of her fathers policies.
• In 1977 she lost her elections and even faced
  charges of corruption.
• She was expelled from parliament, briefly jailed
  and re-elected in 1980.
• In 1984 she was assassinated.

• Victoria, Queen of England. She was the longest
  reigning queen of England.
• Victoria insisted on taking active part on
  decisions of the government, and forcefully
  backed those ministers she liked.
• In the death of her husband, Albert, she went
  into a deep depression for three years.

Suffrage

• The suffrage movement, which lasted 70 years,
  was by women who wanted full voting privileges.
• The idea of equality led to women getting a full
  education, and take part in reform movements,
  which involved them in politics.
• Men believed that they could represent them
  selves better than their wives could represent
  themselves.
• Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton
  started the womens suffrage.

Quote

• "When women are seen with pen in hand, they are
  met immediately with shrieks commanding a return
  to that life of pain which their writing had
  interrupted, a life devoted to the women's work
  of needle and distaff."
• Archangela Tarabotti, writer and nun
• 1654, Venice, Italy
• I think that this quote can say a lot. I think it
  means that when women are trying to do something
  that they dont usually do they are told to get
  back to their regular lifestyle. In those times
  men went to get and education when women had to
  stay home and just do house work or take care of
  the household. Women should have the same rights
  as men to get and education and to learn. I think
  that she made a point and that women should be
  created just as equal as men. Women shouldnt be
  stereotyped as people that that have to stay home
  all day doing chores.

• Mother Theresa started fifty relief projects
  operating in India.
• 1971 she received the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize
• She contributed to history because she really
  made a difference in helping those in poverty.
