Dear Aletta,

Unfortunately, women are still not treated equally, but thanks to you, women can study, vote and work. In this day and age, you are a hero to many women and many people are now very grateful to you. You fought so hard for yourself and for humanity. You did not give up and that is why you achieved your goal. You also continued to fight for other women's rights. Thanks to you, women have gained rights and there are still people today who strive for your goal.
 

Unfortunately, there are still men who think they have more power than women. I also really try to make a difference by seeing women as equals and treating them as equals.

The world is already a lot better, but it is still far from perfect.
