Untold History About Black Women Self Improvement Organization

By Cynthia Cook


Throughout the story of humankind, gender discrimination is probably the most sorrowful event that encompasses age, economic wealth and educational upbringing. Oftentimes, the women are the victims of this cultural phenomenon that is still felt around the world today. Perhaps this is the right time that we allow radical changes in this perception, especially that a black women self improvement group is organized to educate the people for a better change to the society.

Most countries still have problems to gender inequality and it might have helped if media would be accessible to these people. In fact, some of them have never have heard about asserting their own rights since nobody in a macho society would ever inform them about it. That is why these women are exploited, harassed or not even respected because they are ignorant of the basic rights.

Our world would never be the same without leading women figures in our rich history. While men hunted for food during the new stone age, a Mesopotamian woman cast the first wheat grains into the wet soil which will later catapult them to the age of agriculture. Strong known figures, such as Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher and Elizabeth II have helped shaped the destiny of their own countries.

We could not simply forget the exploits of Joan of Arc who led the French army against the British forces in her beloved France. If not for Florence Nightingale, our wounded soldiers would never have survived from the wounds obtained in combat. For being different in perception and understanding, Jane Austen wrote several novels which continued to be read in the many countries in different languages.

That women cannot do as much as men can is a topic of a story that made rounds in beer taverns. It goes that they cannot urinate on the same receptacle at the same time, of which men can easily do. However, this story should be taken as a joke and not as derogatory as it may seem, since it just reflects that both sides should understand each other anyway.

These books will help us understand their impact today and how they could also be a pivotal catalyst on the economic, social, political, cultural, moral and spiritual dimension of all people. These will enlighten us that they also have the same rights on men, like having access to participate in religious, social, public activities, education and suffrage. In short, they are just as human as we are who share the same air that we breathe.

Some authors have also written some works depicting women as game changers in the society. These works will help us realize and understand that we need to open our minds towards these changes. In such manner could we ever achieve a world where everyone is equal and have basic human rights.

These may be difficult to achieve, especially in some societies where men are predominantly in control of most affairs. Yet if constant dripping of a water would crack a rock, the same could be compared to these societies by educating them on their rights. Mass media could help in this endeavor by exposing the truth behind empowering women.

Let us start to respect our women by giving what is due to them. Let us be educated enough to realize that we are not in the old times when they are relegated to house work. They have the potential to change the world, in as much as men do.
