Hardships Of Southern Sharecro
Number of words: 1230 | Number of pages: 5.... around will not be able to attend school on a regular basis, and even if they go to a school when they get a chance they will be so far behind they would have a difficult time catching up.

resistance.

The Changing World Of Women
Number of words: 470 | Number of pages: 2.... unnecessarily if their husbands can provide for them(or their fathers can provide for them if their not married), but in a place like Saudi Arabia where men and women don’t mix at work, working just enhances the mind and makes one wiser to the ways of the world.

I feel that instead of being selfish, we can work out ways that help us be good mothers, wives and also continue with our needs of life.
