Some Lebanese nationals, particularly Maronite Christians, tend to emphasize aspects of Lebanon's non-Arab history. Some Maronites even resist being classified as Arabs at all. Over the centuries, Maronites formed a bond with the Pope and in the French period Maronites eagerly took part in France's mission civilisatrice. There is also an old Maronite idea, dating from the early 19th century writings of Tannus al Shidyaq, that the Maronites are the direct descendents of the Phoenicians. In the 1920s Mic ...

Honduras has one of the largest women's rights movements in Latin America, as women were fighting for the right to work in factories alongside men in the 1920s, and universal suffrage being achieved in 1954. Women in Honduras have historically been encouraged to be submissive, to raise the children and not take a job outside of the home, though this has changed, with poverty meaning that women taking jobs to earn a wage has become necessary.
