    Women's rights has come a long way from what they use to be. For example The women suffrage in North Carolina was horrible, men believed "women were not equal of men mentally" and being able to vote "would take them out of their proper sphere of life." Women didn't attend to physically hard working jobs like men, they stayed home to take care of cleaning, tending to the garden, went grocery shopping, an always made the food. She would be there when the kids got off school to give them a snack an then start preparing for dinner so her husband had food when he came home from work an the kids would have dinner an the mother would always cater to everyone else before catering to herself, then after everyone finished their meals they would give her the dishes so she could start washing them.

Without warning, a Tiger shark attacked her surfboard, dragging her back and forth and then disappearing into the ocean. Bethany was able to compose herself to use her right arm to swim back to the shore. She was later taken to hospital with severe injuries, where her left arm was amputated. She came through her recovery with things that were important to her, such as her family and her Christian faith. Despite the trauma of the incident, Hamilton was determined to return to surfing. Just 10 weeks after the accident, she returned to the ocean and went surfing again. She adjusted to the change by using a custom made surfboard and changing her surfing style. Bethany taught herself to surf with only one arm and she also began surfing competitively in competitions again. Hamilton claims that the loss of her arm was a blessing in disguise.
