Abstract

The position of woman during historical development has been characterized by inequality with men, the infringement of fundamental human rights, impossibillty to express themselves frecly, and oppression both in their families and in wider community. Many centuries which brought with themselves changes of ownership, political, social and public relations have ended. The response was sometimes strong and tragic: revolutions, wars, disappcarances, socio-political ascents, twilight of humanity, and human ideas.

However, during the course of the time the position of woman has been changing very slowly. It seems that history (the absurdity of its courses and the things it had brought to the human race) has played roughly with the rights of women. It was only about a hundred years ago that in some Europcean countries with democratic legal arrangements, women’s basic political and human rights (achieved by street combats, mistrcatments, and conflicts with people in power) were recognized. Once again, women dearly payed for their rights, which are, immanent to them (by the very act of their birth). The constant struggle of women for their rights in the world goes on even now which only confirms their unequal legal, economic, political and social position in relationship to men.
