Right after September 11th, whenever I heard about about the Muslim women, I felt really fortunate to be an American woman. I would hear on the news that women in the Muslim faith do not have many rights. They have to keep their bodies completely covered, with the exception of their eyes. They also do not have the right to choose their own husbands and can not go out during certain parts of the day. The men in the Muslim faith are worshiped. If a man tells a woman to do something, she must do it, no exceptions.
This makes me feel very proud to be a woman living in America during this time. Less than a century ago in the United States women did not have very many privileges. It makes me very happy to see how far we have come. I only wish that the women of the Muslim faith could be as lucky.
