A right to vote did not mean that women enjoyed equal rights in every part of public and private life. Between 1945 and 1985, second-wave feminism challenged a world in which women could vote but often could not sit on a jury, earn the same wage or control their own fertility. New laws and a United Nations treaty followed. In Tunisia, a different movement began in a neglected interior town. Twenty-eight days of protest ended a 23-year dictatorship and opened the only lasting democratic transition of the Arab uprisings of 2011. IB students study these movements side by side. Together they invite us to ask why protest emerges, how it creates change and whom that change leaves out.
The twelve chapters follow both movements on two maps. On the Atlantic map, each US state and country is coloured according to one right at a time, allowing you to follow changes in the law. On the Tunisian map, each governorate is coloured by its part in the revolt, so you can follow the spread of protest. Blue marks a right won in law; red marks a place in revolt. Scrub the timeline and open any state or governorate for its dossier. When you can explain both movements and say whom each one left behind, try the Field Exam.
