Abstract
The rights and status of women has been one of the most prevalent social issues throughout world history. Women have faced both constant and changing issues across Western civilizations and time periods, such as the Byzantine Empire, 14th century France, and 16th century England. These issues become evident when examining historical texts created by women, such as The Alexiad by Anna Comnena, The Book of the City of Ladies by Christine de Pisan, and the Speech to the Troops at Tilbury by Queen Elizabeth I. Many issues that women have dealt with throughout different time periods and geographical locations share more similarities than differences, including their right to be educated, their influence in government, and their social status relative to men. While progress has been made to combat these issues, theyhave continued to limit women’s rights throughout history.
