Thesis Abstract The inequality of sexes in England has been a sore point in society for centuries. Since the seventeenth century, with the rise of the genre of the novel, writers touched upon this unevenness of rights. During the eighteenth century, there was an increase in the number of female writers and some of them made the issue of female rights their central theme. But to understand the problem, it is necessary to understand the laws concerning women in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This thesis follows the course of a life of a woman, from before birth until the time after marriage has ended and the rights to property she possessed over the course of her life. It is concerned consecutively with the period before, during and after a marriage, as whatever rights a woman had changed dramatically with the change of her marital status.

Women's Rights in the Middle East and their Perception in Czechia
Výborná, Veronika ; Kabrda, Jan (advisor) ; Klingorová, Kamila (referee)
Women's rights in the Islamic world are a questionable topic. Significant differences between individual countries and regions are often not taken into account and many reasons and factors that generate such conditions for women are being neglected. This presented bachelor thesis aims at presenting the status of women in the Middle East on the basis of statistical data in comparison with men. The second part intends to confront these results with the feelings and opinions of employs of Czech non-governmental organisations who visited the Middle East. The thesis presents economic rights, civil rights, political rights, education and health of women in 21 selected countries of the region, together with the interpretation of possible causes and factors limiting women's rights.

Islam and women's rights: Case study of Saudi Arabia
Tošovská, Lucie ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Novotná, Yvona (referee)
The issue of human rights - or rather women's rights - and their protection has become a very sensitive topic as of lately. Despite global efforts of upholding human rights we still encounter their violation and especially so in states where Islam is widespread. This work addresses the relation between Islam and human rights, especially women's rights, which tend to be suppressed in Islamic states. The work analyses basic international instruments for protection of human and women's rights in comparison to the Islamic conception. It most directly focuses on the example of Saudi Arabia, a state in which the violation of women's rights can be found most often.
