Joan of Arc was a young French catholic woman who was condemned to be burnt at the stake because of simply wearing men's clothing and claiming visions from the saints and angels during she led a whole battalion of men to defeat the English, she was later
canonized as saint.

As far as I witnessed and therefore believe, through old centuries, women are bounded to conform with the commands of men. There was a notion where men used to defy women, they said it was from the book of God for coercion; "men rule, women obey". This statement was certainly poignant, but not enough to open the minds and heal those who were blinded by this social hierarchical stigmas. But, it is when women themselves thought that they have enough, just look at the image, being framed up for having a loose breast and a fertile vagina but for men's vision they are a subject for sex and obscenity. Now, I can tell that women back then were objected to such impassiveness brought by men in order to denounce their mighty authority.
Fortunately for women, the earth doesn't stop to revolve from its own axis. So does the emergence of contemporary ideologies to harbor women's freedom. It is such a pivotal moment where women saw men as an equal. Thus, women rights flourished within the thickest page of a volume. Rewriting their fates, constructing their concrete and boundless laws, and thereby successfully altering their image from men and a societal reformation, with the gift of acceptance and inclusivity and excluding exclusivity.
