While the issue of women's suffrage has roots in every country in the world, most think that the first steps forward were painfully dug thanks to the efforts of the first women pioneer in America. This perception is easily formed due to the early publication of Mary Wollstonecraft's 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 Great Britain, Canada and America. for at least 25 years. The fight for women's rights has been heavy and slow over the years and not without internal divisions. In England, women were allowed to hold jobs such as teachers and shopkeepers, but they were not given the right to vote even if they supported the government by paying taxes. This became a major stumbling point as prisoners and those in mental institutions were also allowed to vote.

These women were landowners and were obviously considered...middle of paper...when these women have outside jobs they are still primarily responsible for childcare and taking care of the house, the male of the family did not take on multiple tasks. This does not level the playing field between the sexes and causes more stress for the woman in the family. In fact, while men no longer provide care at home, part of the care of children is outsourced. Considering the issue from the point of view of social justice, it seems that women are not yet at the same level proposed by Mills in this bill in Parliament. Although women are entitled to the basic human rights of work, land ownership, business and voting, there remains an inequality in expectations for an adult woman. These expectations arise from long-standing traditional views held by a large portion of society and which will take many years to eradicate..
