Hello everyone. Today, I'm going to explore with you the theme of women's struggle for recognition in a society where men predominated, relegating them to the private sphere rather than the public sphere. I will delve into the cases of the suffragettes and the female workers of Ford, all of whom showed tremendous courage in this fight for freedom.

Let’s start with the suffragettes,  who, fought for women's right to vote.

So, In 1903, Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the movement born in 1858 initiated this group. Married and mother of two daughters also involved in the struggle, Emmeline Pankhurst rallied many women to protest in the city of London. Their slogan was "Deeds, not words." To make themselves heard, they used provocative methods, including burning churches, breaking windows, and chaining themselves to the gates of Buckingham Palace. Faced with their actions, they were sent to prison, where they went on hunger strikes, embarrassing the government as these women held relatively high positions and were well-educated. To counter this, the government implemented a strategy called "cat and mouse." After years of struggle, the suffragettes finally obtained the right to vote, first for women over 30 in 1918, and then for all women over 21 in 1928.

As for the female workers of Ford, in the 1968s, they decided to completely stop working, organizing a strike in London near the Parliament to demand equal wages to those of men. Their fight was marked by many sexist remarks and insults from male opponents. Nevertheless, they succeeded in obtaining 92% of men's wages, an increase of 7 pence per hour. A law was even signed to concrete their demands.

Thus, by challenging the norms of the society of the time, women succeeded in obtaining well-deserved recognition in society.
