Abstract

women in the Untied States enjoy a high standard of living that is often unparalleled in the developing world. Although Western women still face challenges when it comes to gender roles and their position in the workplace, the rights that have been granted to women are among the most notable accomplishments for women in the international community. It is for this reason that when the issue of women's rights comes into question, the rights and freedoms that women have achieved in the Western world are often used as a model for the development of women's rights in foreign countries.Looking across the broad scope of the international community, it is evident that women in various developing nations are attempting to move their societies toward a more liberated environment in which women enjoy the same freedoms and privileges as men. Interestingly, however there are some notable instances in which women are not fighting for liberation or more rights. In these instances women are fighting to maintain the status quo, keeping a patriarchal social system in which men rule and women follow carefully constructed social roles. Such is the case in the country of algeria.
