Dorian Grey

This book was written in the Victorian times, it means that it was written years ago in a completely different society. In the time when the story takes place women didn't lay an important role in the society: they were considered housekeepers and caretakers, they couldn't have a work and they were submissive to a man.

Now, this situation has changed and has improved a lot. Now the women are in the same level than man but sometimes it is only something ethical because men are having more "facilities" in the society. In job scope, men are earning more than women for doing the same kind of job, or men are having best positions than women for the reason that they are men. We only have to look to the politic world where most governments are made up mostly of men.

And there are a lot of countries that things haven't changed yet. For example in more countries in Africa or Asia, women continue been less than man even in front of the law. It's also a consequence of the religion of the countries that doesn't allow the women do a lot of things and treats him different than men. In places where religion has already a big importance in the society is where women are less free and they have different right than men.
