This can cause issues for women because in some instances men in higher positions expect a sort of sexual “payment” to be able to keep the job they need.

What is the root of feminism? There are many things that will anger you in life and getting played less than a man for the same job is one of them. Women are capable of getting a job, but we still fall behind due to unequal wages between women and men for the same duties. Gender inequalities are a huge factor in the workplace. There is a lot of tension when it comes to women being over worked. The amount of responsibilities that women have, from work to home and everything in between, is ridiculous and it is all based on the gender roles that society has developed.

The first meaning a historian would think of would be from the 18th century when women at work meant women working in the household. The work that women did adhered to the patriarchal structure, such as cooking, cleaning and making clothes. Around the time of World War II work for women began to mean something different. Women were entering the paid labour force specifically during 1939-1945 when they were needed the most to help men in the war.
