Not everything was Man-Made


Once upon a time, everyone thought that everything was made by men. Everyone thought that women were imperfect of creating anything new. It brought down the morality of the women into thinking that their life was bound inside the four walls of the house. Men had responsibilities and roles such as politician, Scientist, Philosopher, ECT. If women mention anything about society it would be suppressed. Greece was a true believer of this.
 Mithalia was a woman whose motivation sparked from the inequality of genders. She wanted to show that two genders prevail in order of existence. One gender cannot survive without the other. This was not well understood at that time. The sight of men showing his dominance was very exasperating. Mithalia wanted to be a goldsmith. Even though the norms of society did not allow her to do so, she fought and her struggle was joined by many other women.
They succeeded in opening up a small goldsmith shop. They were doing a small scale business even though rarely anyone brought their products. At that time in Greece gradually jewellery entrepreneurs were becoming bankrupt. So the competition for gold was decreasing. Luckily Mithalia’s gold shop was able to hang on and avoid the financial crisis. This provided a prosperous boon as buyers
were increasing and people were lined up in front of their shops anxious to see what the shop has to offer. Meanwhile, the elders were alarmed that the shop was profiting and functioning even better than before. They wanted to end this beacon of hope to show the women their position in society. People were not ready to stop visiting the shop as a time only two shops were reigning the jeweller industry. The rival shop was on its way to collapse. People were amazed that a woman entrepreneur was successful despite all odds. The town hall was infuriated that men were appreciating women. They ordered troops to occupy the shop. The women were not able to defend themselves as many were harassed in front of the streets. Many even committed suicide for that reason. Mithalia was able to defend herself from this cruelty. But sadly after some time assassins came to kill her. The World mourns for her loss for she is who she has become for her deeds of nobility. But before she died she uttered, “My jeweller's shop was not man-made.”
