WOMEN IN MOLLET

Natàlia Cabezuelo and Anna Careta.

Through the ages, women have always had to fight to be somebody in a world that has always belonged to men... Until now.
Discrimination against women is dissappearing day by day, but it’s still present in our society.
In the past, women could not go school or work, and they had to stay at home takig care of the family and the house.
It’s true that nowadays, men and women can go to school and can work but still it is not the same for men than for women.
For example:
A man and a woman apply for a job, and their curriculums are the same, there’s a great percentage of possibilities that the man is choosed instead of the woman.

Mollet del Vallés had and still has women who are fighting to succed in what they want to be: entrepreneurs, owners of their own business or even mayors.
One of the most succesfull women in Mollet has been the last mayor Mollet had. Montserrat Tura.
