Women in history

   When I read a neswpaper, I found something interesting everyday and usually it’s an article or editorial but today was differnt: it was an advertisement. The commercial was about the program to improve our English reading ability and there was a short essay. It was not the ad but the context that attracted me because it was a story about women in history who help their countried by spying. It says that the Virginia Hall is a good example because she was one of the bravest and most successful spies through out the whole history of spies. While reading it, I felt pity for them because their life must have been much tougher than that of any other normal men whether it was their choices or not. However, I’m sure that they were forced to do it because  anything can happen in this world and the govenment can ask citizens anything under the cloak of patriotism especially during the War. Also, to some women it could be the only way to live because there were nothing much that woman could do alone at that times different from nowadays. Of course, some people might have taken that job voluntarily like Virginia Hall but most of them were not and I still can imagine how hard and tough their lives would be. It’s sad that women had to live different lives from men’s and I guess we (women) still do even though many people insist that the world is changing. I believe we should think not only about the typical role expectation of women but also the exceptions because there are much more exceptions that we have expected in this world.
