Chapter 21
The subject discussed in this chapter is communism through the years. While most popular in Russia, other countries like China and Cuba also ran on a communist based government. This form of political rules were based on the interest's of the lower class rather than middle class. Therefore they helped more with lower class than the middle. Just like any other country at this time at this time women had to fight for their rights, and those that did try their best to find better ways at going about life. Which meant they had to lower themselves to getting abortions, and divorces for their own equality. This pained me to read because of what women had to do just to get on the good graces of men at this point. Women had to fight a lot of battles for equality and even had to lose children which I found to be very unfair.

The image I chose was on page 1083 where a portrait of a woman working is placed. To me this image represented the fact that women had to work very hard for the things they wanted at this time and, that even meant doing hard labor like men. The painter portrayed the woman in the painting a happy from the smile on her face which I thought was a little controversial since I doubt women were happy to be in the position they were in at this time.
