1. How has the status of woman changed in the last 200 years?

Women’s status and their rights have changed significantly multidimensional over the last couple of centuries. Some examples of these changes include women becoming part of the government process, being given the right to vote, women entering the workplace in historic numbers, being given the right to be more in control of their relationships (ie. be able to initiate divorce proceedings), perhaps more controversial of these changes is women achieving major milestones concerning their reproductive rights.
