Georgiana Spencer

   It has been so long since women don't have to worry about important issues such as, education, marriage or voting,  at least in Europe. But as we know, having these kind of rights was not common for women in certain periods of history. For instance, in the 18th Century in England, women were not allowed either to own properties or to vote. Neither could they express  their opinions freely. However, aganist the strict social preassures they developed their own way to let people know their thoughts and so reflected their nonconformity. For example, the Duchess of Devonshire was well-known for her extravagant dresses and hats, and even though she could not participate in elections, the Duchess was the first woman to campaing for a candidate in 1784. She became quite active in politics and was certainly one of the most famous personalities of her time.

    Thanks to women like Georgiana Spencer, best-known as The Duchess of  Devonshire, considerable changes were possible. But, nowadays, we still haven't overcome some gender inequality.
