Things may be different from the past, but the past will always affect the future of society. This is what Glazer shows: “In the 1970s, a woman who telephoned the police to complain that her husband had assaulted her had little hope of getting her husband arrested. In most jurisdictions, a police officer could not arrest the suspect unless he actually witnessed the beating” (Glazer). Some might say it was forty years ago, but at the same time, it was only forty years ago. Some people still don't support women being able to vote today. Some people cannot accept the fact that a woman can have a say in society and even make a decision for her.
