Portuguese women were 'slaves' of their husbands, and only were important for their children. Women couldn't be educators, attorneys, or any important profession. In the 20th century, before the revolution in 1974 women could only go out through the country with the men's consent...women belonged to men as an object; men were the bosses and owners. Also the constitution agreed that only portuguese men could take options, make desicions and do whatever they wanted; aparently it was the best option for the country and its society. After the revolution, women started to make new things, and began to take vote, education, own money and own desicions; although only a few of them. After that, women became 'important' in the country and the goverment declared a protective law for them. However, the portuguese women obtained all those important things, it is not enough for the culture of the country; there are not politics women, jugdes or doctors and the worst thing is that their jobs and activities are not value at all.
