The Role Of A Mother's Role In Society

Eventually if the family was wealth enough nannies were brought in to take care of the house with the money makers were gone. Eventually leading to where the mothers weren’t necessarily doing their duties according to the men. Most men had trouble getting use to the idea of the women not being home having dinner already served. Then the 1980s to the 1990s you started to see the men cooking and cleaning helping the women out while they were out working, but their job was still to respect the men. Even though this was happening some men were still in though it was demeaning. The work force was a man’s

     While manufacturing spread across the country, women were pulled toward the clanging mechanism of factory production. They toiled six days a week, earning a meager amount for tedious periods of twelve or thirteen hours. Opportunities for women to be economically self-supporting were scarce and consisted mainly of nursing, domestic service, and especially teaching. About 10 percent of white women were working for pay outside their own homes in 1850, and estimates are that about 20 percent of all women had been employed at some time prior to marriage. The vast majority of working women were single. Upon marriage, they left their paying jobs and took up their new work, without wages, as wives and mothers. In the home they were preserved in a “cult of domesticity.” From their platform, married women commanded immense moral power, and they increasingly made

In that time, women were known to stay home and take care of their children, cook and clean. So having an opportunity

The way many traditionalists and men saw it, women were the homemakers, men were the breadwinners. In the time between world war 1 and 2 women were not encouraged to be active in the public life, so much so that the male dominated trade unions opposed females in the work

The resilience of women and the hardship of men were prominent during this time. However, women were still deeply grounded in their home life (Bolin, 74). Particularly women from middle-income families were left with job of being able to balance work and home life (Bolin, 74). Being a caregiver and taking care of the domestic needs of the home was very important. During this time tradition values were deeply routed in the home. Women made sure not let their home life consume them because their may focus was being a good wife and mother. This is a trend that has made its way even in today’s society. “Even now lack of adequate day-care (necessitating private baby-sitting service), low paying jobs for women, and the growth of technologies that open the door to and “electronic cottage industry”, indicate that women’s home production is a mutable but perhaps permanent response to women’s economic and social inequality under capitalism” (Hollingsworth, & Tyyska). The oppression in the past is shown to have made and imprint on society even to this day. Even though

During America’s early history, women were denied some of the key rights enjoyed by male citizens. For example, no female had the right to vote and some couldn’t even go to school. Women were expected to focus on housework and motherhood, not politics.

In the 1950’s to 1970’s women did all of the unpaid housework including taking care of their husbands. With divorced parents, women experienced better health and happiness compared to the man in the divorce. Single mothers realized men created more house work than they provided in the relationship. There are institutionalized barriers to what the ideological version of sharing means within a household. Specialization between bread winner and parenting did fall on women.

These women had children and homes to tend to, but it did not stop them from working. Looking back on women in history, they were not treated properly, and were taught that they could not be doctors, lawyers, surgeons, or business women. They were taught that they had to stay at home and look after the children. The women in the 1920’s changed that forever. These women reversed their role as the, “helpless, stay-at-home women,” to, “women can do anything a man can.”

Though women often wanted to vote, own property, have a job, and get an education, their rights had limitations. Thus, women became completely dependent on men to do these tasks for them. In the 1800s, women had next to no rights, however this changed while moving

Women, normally viewed as the weaker gender, deserve equal rights for all of the hard work that they do to support their own families. While men were out doing their jobs and getting paid for them, the women were forced to stay at home to complete more difficult jobs that they were not gaining pay for. The women were responsible for the well-being of the children and for the well-being of the house. Staying at home to do all of the cooking and cleaning took a lot more effort out of the women than sitting behind a desk all day did for the men.

Women are known to be the nurturing part of human nature. It is women who birth and generally care for the young of human kind; however, the roles of women have progressed to be so much more in today’s society. Now women are looked to not only as a homemaker, but a breadwinner as well. In many families, the women provide a major source of income and are responsible for the wellbeing of the family. “More than a quarter century has passed since Arlie Hochschild’s The Second Shift powerfully made the case that women cannot compete fairly with men when they are doing two jobs and men are doing only one.” (Moravcsik). He goes on to say that women’s roles have shifted to being able to balance a job and a family at one time. Despite the many jobs that

Women Are Not Inferior Woman is treated as the weaker gender. Traditionally women are the ones who cook and take care of the family. Men are the ones who go to work. Some men believe that women cannot have careers, play sports, or do hard work as they do.

4. The nurturer of the family, is a gender segregation role where a woman had to stay at home and provide domestic labour, care for the children and the husband. Nowadays women want to nurture their careers than stay at home and do traditional duties, they go out at earn their living in the way that suit them, breaking the traditional binds and in favour of equally shared gender roles and domestic duties.

Due to a high rate of women opting out of the work force, they are leaving behind a negative stigma throughout the job market. This negative reputation has women not being seen as the ideal worker, especially for jobs that the individual has to work 35 to 40 hours a week. Women are stereotyped as future mothers when they enter the workforce, so they are not seen as the quintessential person for certain job positions. They also have to face societal norm that they are the care givers and that’s how it also has been. So if a child is sick or they need to be picked up, it is majority of the time the mother that has to leave work or has to take a few days off.

Since the beginning of the 1800's, women had been fighting for the rights that they wanted. Women should be able to vote, control their own property and income, and they should have access to higher education and professional jobs. Women also had many roles in society. Women had very important parts in jobs as they took up more responsibilities. Girls, young ladies, and women of all ages were working harder to bring home income. Most women thought the pay and the conditions were unfair. These arguments grew as women fought more and more for social equality.
