Oral d'anglais: how women rebelled against the power exercised by men?

I am going to talk about the notion places and forms of power . in politics and social science, power is the ability to influence the behavior of people.In order to live together members of a community accept rules, regulation, laws. this helps to create social cohesion but can also lead to conflicts and tensions. Even when authority seems absolute, there are always counter-powers , so we can ask the question

how women rebelled against the power exercised by men?

in the first part , I'll talk about the movie "suffragettes" that I could see with the school.

At the beginning of the last century, in England, women of any conditions decide to fight to obtain the voting right. In the face of their claiming , the reactions of the government are more and more rude and oblige them to go underground for a more and more radical fight .Because the peaceful demonstrations  gave nothing, those whom we call suffragettes eventually resort  to the violence to be listened. In this fight for the equality, they are ready for anything to risk: their work, their house, their children, and even their life.

This movie shows us the hard battle that one led these women to have the same straight ahead that the men, in this movie we show us the power of the men  on the women as that to hold quite the rights on the children of a couple or still the pressure which they make on his women.

in a second part , I am going to present you a propaganda poster on the force-feeding of the women in prison which went on hunger strike.the scene take place in a cell, the women tortured is a suffragette .we can see a torturing woman because didn't want to eat. it's a drawing where we can see 4 characters , 2 women and 2 men , the women tortured was alone in front of the  others. they want to give some food in her mouth to force feeding.This propaganda shows the hardness of the measures organized by the state and the suffering that one lived these women. They did not nevertheless abandon their fights, we come thus to the third part of my oral .

 I am going to present you a suffragette which gave its life for its fight.Emily  Davison was born in October 1872 and she died the  8 June 1913. was a militant suffragette who fought for women's suffrage in Britain. She was jailed on nine occasions and force-fed 49 times.[1] She stepped in front of King George V's horse Anmer at the Epsom Derby on 4 June 1913, suffering fatal injuries. Her funeral on 14 June 1913 was organised by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Thousands of suffragettes accompanied the coffin and tens of thousands of people lined the streets of London. After a service in Bloomsbury, her coffin was taken by train to the family grave in Morpeth.Modern historians agree that Davison was trying to disturb the Derby to draw attention to her cause, rather than to commit suicide

She has took the risk of dying to be listened by the men.

for conclure , we can say That the women sacrificed everything to make listen their cause by the men. They sacrificed their families, their marriage, their jobsv unless nobody reacts. They underwent the domination of the menvfor years they led at first passive actions but without result they were thus obliged to lead violent actions but even there the power of the men was too much big and they were not listened to. To be listened they needed the death to regret her Émily who made a great deal of noise, people could not more ignored the call of this women .this women knew how to take some power, rebel against the excessive power exercised by the men and be listened in spite of the consequences.
