Feminism

袁

Good morning, everyone. It’s my honor to stand here to give a prentation

to you all. As you know, recently, Hillary Clinton has just announced that she would

campaign for 2016 president of America. So that we find out the status of women

in politics incread significantly. So there es a new conception, feminism. And

today, our group will introduce you this, maybe to you, strange topic.

So our prentation has 3 parts, and I’m in charge of the first.

Perhaps you would ask, why we talk about feminism? What’s the importance

of that? I want to tell you a story.

In 2012, December 16

th

,a college girl named Joyti Singh from new Delhi, the

capital of India, went in a personal bus at 9 o’clock, after watching a movie, with a

male friend. Just in this horrible bus , unfortunately, she was raped by 6 men and

they even tortured her. Then she died soon in a hospital. After she died, however,

one of criminal said like that, you can’t clap with one hand. It takes two hands to

clap. A decent girl won’t roam around at 9 o’clock at night. A girl is far more

responsible for rape than a boy. This girl was only 23 years old. This event t off a

huge protest. People prayed for her and fight for the justice and woman’s right.

Joyti Singh was then called India’s daughter. We can’t help thinking, why could

such a thing happen in this civilized world? What’s exactly the meaning of a

woman?

Moreover, a more inhuman act still exist in some parts of Africa, which is

female circumcision. This brutal act brings a lot of hurt to young women. That’s

why we talk about feminism. So what’s the feminism? Plea have my partner

continue. Thank you.

Now, as you e, this symbol reprents feminism. It is bad on Venus symbol.

A Venus symbol is just like this. And there is a fist in the central, which means

woman’s right.

So how does feminism develop in history? Firstly, let’s look at western

feminism. In the history of human society, the concept of human rights has

been 200 years of history, but it does not include the feminist. We all know that

there is quite a lot empress in western history. So maybe status of women in the

west is higher.

In 1971, a great woman, Olympe de Gouges who wrote

the

declaration of

rights of woman

appealed for feminism initialy. And then, there came more

feminist literatures. As known, Jane Austin and Bronte sisters. They are female

writers and wrote books about women mainly. Jane Austin wrote Pride and

prejudice. Jane Eyre, Gone with wind and Wuthering Heights by brontes.

Until 19,20 century, women started the feminist movement and to fight for

political rights. Many countries won the rights of vote for women. And now, we are

all familiar with the iron lady, Margaret Thatcher and Hillary Clinton.

While back in China, feminism has a tougher development. This is our ancient

women and what they believed in. Maybe ridiculous for now, right? We did have

some powerful women, like 呂后，武則天，慈禧. But they were not accepted by the

traditional views of society.

After 1912, as society developed, feminism improved a lot, too. Women

started to aquire education and advanced ideas. So we know such a lot

progressive females, such as Song sisters, Qiujin and so on.

And then, how is feminism like today? I’d love to let my another partner to

introduce. Thank you all.

Thank my partners for paving the way for me. From their prentation, you

may get a general idea about feminism. However, you may ask, we are living in this

relatively stable munity, we girls don’t really worry about go out at night or

horrible bodily harm. And historic great women have strived for lots of rights.

Maybe we are satisfied. We don’t need feminism at all. But does not female

discrimination really exist in China?
