For literacy this week, my class learned about how life for women in New Zealand has changed a lot since 1870. We made a Venn diagram to compare the past and now. In 1870, women mostly stayed at home, didn’t have many rights, and couldn’t vote or work many jobs. Today, women can choose almost any job, vote, go to school, and have laws that protect their rights. Even though things have changed, women have always been important to their families and communities. It was cool to see how much things have improved and to think about how women’s lives keep getting better.
