Think about this, imagine fearing to go out into the streets because you might get attacked. Imagine the only purpose of your existence was to clean, make babies, and respect your husband. That was the life of Woman before the Woman's rights movement. As you can see we have came a long way from then but some people still think that way. Society felt as if Woman weren't as good as men. they thought that Woman couldn't do anything except care for their husband's.
It is said that someone in the woods fire their gun three times hide until all the soldiers came toward them then surprised attacked the soldiers that came to the woods to check where the firing came from.
