Although the issue of women's suffrage has roots in every country around the world, most believe that the first advances were painfully dug thanks to the efforts of the first pioneers in America. This perception is easily formed due to Mary Wollstonecraft's first publication, Vindication of the Right's of Women in 1792. However, the movement gained national attention in New Zealand in 1893 and Australia in 1902, eclipsing the suffrage movement in Britain, Canada and America. within at least 25 years. The fight for women's rights has been heavy and slow over the years, not without internal divisions. In England, women were allowed to take jobs such as teachers and traders, but did not have the right to vote, although they supported the government by paying taxes.

These women were landowners and visibly considered ...... middle of paper ...... when these women have outside jobs, they are still primarily responsible for child care and maintenance of the house, the male of the household did not take on more tasks. This does not level the playing field between the sexes and causes more stress for the woman in the family. In fact, even if the man no longer provides help at home, some childcare is outsourced. When the issue is looked at from a social justice perspective, it appears that women are still not at the level of equality proposed by Mills in this bill in Parliament. Although women are entitled to the basic human rights of employment, land and business ownership, and the right to vote, there remains an inequality in expectations of an adult woman. These expectations arise from long-held traditional views held by much of society and which will take many years to eradicate..
