Women īs rights

Hi friends from all over the world!
Next week I𠍿 going to deal with women𠏋 rights. Therefore, I𠍿 in the middle of creating a worksheet to introduce it and the thing is that I鏆 like to create an exercise including important women as far as that topic is concerned. Besides Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Friedan, Germaine Greer, Farida Shaheed, Millicent Fawcett and Emily Davison, what other names would you suggest?
Thanks in advance!

Cristina,
I suggest Rosa Parks. She was fundamental in the fight against segregation in the USA.
Happy New Year!

Since this is the International Year of Chemistry, why not mention Marie Curie? Actually, I have some material about her for the English class, which was provided by a friend / fellow teacher. It īs good stuff (but not mine...). Anyway, I think she doesn īt mind sharing it here!!
If you īre interested, just send me your e-mail.

Sorry, my link to Wikipedia doesn īt want to work or update.
please try:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womenīs_suffrage
There īs a really interesting timeline & breakdown of voting rights by continent/geographic location & country.
I bet there will be a few surprises for many of you!
Cheers, AB

Frida kahlo, she was a Mexican painter woman, she had a difficult life because of a horrible accident. But she is a very famous painter.
Another woman could be Wilma Rudolph, she also got polio, she competed in track-and-field events it the 1960
Olympics.
Good Luck....hugs from Mexico, Naye |

Like her or not, I think Gloria Steinem had a significant contribution to women īs rights. |
