Emancipation means female`s struggle for equal rights, an opportunity to live an active and happy life of full value.

The purpose of our investigation is to prevent girls of blind, fanatic passion for feminism, to explain the difference between emancipation and debauch.

The tasks:

• - to analyze the main reason of female`s movement and showed its steps;
• - to compared women`s activity at the beginning of the movement and now;
• - to conduct a survey;
• - to make a conclusion and formalize the work

It was historically established in society that men are stronger than women, they dominate women.

Men have more rights and less duties while women have less rights and more duties at home

Women wanted to be equal members of families and society, wanted their energy and mind to be used

The most active and progressive women joined together to start movement for their rights

Now women are able to do everything

• Even in the most developed and democratic countries the laws didn`t give women equality with men in receiving jobs, education, social and cultural development

The first attempts to declare about themselves and to file a protest were made long before D.C.

Women who fought for their right to vote were called suffragettes.

Women demanded not only the right to vote, but also a better education for girls.

Twenty years later, women's trade unions started working in Europe.

Russia joined the movement in 1905.

CONCLUSION

The main difference between emancipation and false doctrine of it is as follows: Emancipation is a movement of active women who have minimum rights but try to do everything possible to develop the society, to improve life of all people. It is a progressive movement.

But women without destination, dreaming of doing nothing but entertainments only lead our society to the extinction. Of course, it is regress.

There are a lot of examples of emancipated women who made a great contribution in different ares of life. They are clever and modest ,active and polite,kind and sympathetic, generous and noble. We are sure that such women as Indira Ghandi, Raisa Gorbachova, Hillary Clinton, Diana are examples of really emancipated women.

We want to wish all girls, future women, to find themselves. Try to be beautiful and unique but not vulgar! Try to live an active life of full value and not waste knowledge and force. Try to be noble and kind to meet polite attitude from male.

Thank you

for your attention
