Women’s treatment has changed drastically throughout history. From times of severe incarceration to the near-equality of today, many valuable generalities can be drawn about societies from their treatment of women.

past and present, women have not been treated as an equal to men. According to (UN NATIONS WEBSITE DEFINITON OF UNEQUAL TREATMENT of women CITATION HERE)it is unequal treatment of individuals based on their gender.
