The Role Of The Working Women

man's success there is a women. Women do so much and get less than half of the recognition men get. Everyday sexism should not exist because women are being silenced or dismissed because people think they are only attention seekers. Sexism in politics should not exist because there are plenty of women who are just as qualified or better to do a job than a man is.

With the problem of World War I, women had to band together and become strong to help defend the nation while the men went to war. Women's new role on the home front was that many women (nearly three million) were employed in food, textile, and war industries. Not only did women maintain their households, but they also played the roles of helping to support the war. Having been exposed to labor, they learned new skills which advanced women farther. The women and girls cooked for the soldiers, nursed the wounded and sick and helped them survive their injuries and their sicknesses. Not only were women working jobs in factories that had only been reserved for white males but also African-Americans migrated from the rural south to the urban north,

Introduction Women play a humongous role in today’s society, but 100 years ago that was not the case. The evolution of women in the workplace, and society in general continues to change daily. Women started joining the workforce during World War 2 (the 1940s) to fill the positions of men who were deployed in the war overseas. Women were not seen as workers before World War 2; they were seen as stay at home mothers. Women were “supposed” to stay at home cooking and cleaning.

Gender and work exist sociologically as a way to maintain both authority and inequality. Women’s roles throughout history shed a light on the expectations and stereotypes that exist today; however, navigating a gendered economy and overcoming sex segregation continues to be a challenging task for most women. Wages continue to be uneven, and wives continue to bear most of the child rearing and domestic responsibilities despite increasingly working the same amount as their husbands do. Becoming educated on these inequalities and viewing them with a sociological perspective will allow people to see gender and work in an accurate light and continue to develop

The roles of gender are changing rapidly. Throughout U.S. history men have played dominant roles and were always the family breadwinners. As women get more education and make more money they are becoming the primarily breadwinners of their families. More women are working outside the home and their earnings are important to the well-being of their families. What are the effect on their families, careers and equal wages?

In July 1848, the Seneca Falls Convention, held by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, became the first meeting to be held on behalf of women’s rights. It was at this convention that the Declaration of Sentiments was drafted, and modeled after the Declaration of Independence by asserting the equality of men and women throughout the document. This was to show that men were not the only one who had the right to equality, but also woman. At the time, not everyone, even women, believe in the the idea of women being equal to men because in this century it was believe women were fragile creatures who only live within the domestic and social sphere. Within the past few decades the role of women in America changed dramatically; they have right to vote, to education, to work, etc. Yet substantial inequalities remain between women and men.

The armed forces are the ones who protect and serve our country. Back then the military, the navy, and the air force had one thing in common—they only recruited the men to serve and protect. Now over time women are finally allowed to serve along sides the men, but not without putting up a fight for equality in the armed forces. The author Rosalind Chait Barnett, who is a scientist and a director and the Brandeis University, wrote the article “Women and Work: Where Are We, Where Did We Come From, and Where Are We Going?” which talks about the past of of only the women being oppressed. Martha McSally, who is a professor at the George C. Marshall European Center and is also retired from the U.S. Air Force, wrote the article “Defending America

The roles of women have always been changing over time, and the roles of women have never been identical in two different societies. Throughout history we have seen women be vital to societies and treated as such, women have had power and equality to men. We have seen great women successfully lead massive empires, but we have also seen women be mistreated, objectified, and treated as less than a man. An analysis of four sources shows how the role of women in the west, central Asia, and China had many differences but also many similarities.

In another study, “The Working Wife: Differences in Perception among Negro and White Males” the results showed that “the white male less inclined to believe a wife should work outside the home, he was more likely than the Negro male (w = 66.5 percent; N = 53.7 percent) to define the wife's employment as having a potentially detrimental effect on school-age children.” (Axelson 458) Therefore, the outcomes of this study have shown that it is possible for there to be differences in opinion based on race on the working mother. In addition, since the respondents are from the United States each country has their own laws about paid leaves for new mothers. The United States does not have paid leaves for new mothers unlike other industrialized countries. For example, “Sweden offers nearly a year and a half of 80% paid leave for mothers and fathers while breastfeeding rates there far exceed those in the United States (In the United Kingdom, many women are eligible for up to 52 weeks leave at 90% pay.” (Turner 398) Therefore, paid

Mrs. President. There would be many of those if women were treated as equals to men. But, without the Equal Rights Amendment being added to the Constitution, women are still looked at as lesser to their male counterparts. Though women have gained more power and responsibilities from the earlier decades when they were housewives, I believe that women in America have a ways to go in becoming equals to men.

In today’s world, people think that all women and men workers around the world are being payed equally, but as some people know that is not a case. Most of the time when people think about work they think about paid work. All around the world some mothers or women choose their job as a domestic worker, which is categorized as salary workers. Salary workers are people who works as an employee in companies, stores or another people’s house and get paid for a specific period of time. The reason women take this domestic work as a job because they have to take care of the family during earning money such as take care of their child and make meal for family.

A women's role has changed tremendously and is making its greatest impact in our society today. Many years ago, women's contribution to society was limited and controlled by men. Women are standing tall and are playing a major role in many important areas. Women's role has changed at an accelerating rate and have part in areas such as Politics, Professional Training Jobs, Medicine,Business and Law. Formerly they were not part of any political matter, but they have advanced in many aspects. For example, women have attained power and have been growing in political office.

The sight of a working woman today is not something that causes one to look twice. However, this was not always the case. It was a long struggle for women to get to where they are today, and there is still a long way to go. There were a few momentous occasions throughout history that caused a shift in the way women were viewed as workers, such as the need for workers during World War II, the Equal Pay Act, and the appointment of Sandra Day O’Connor to the Supreme Court. Women have made great strides in integrating themselves into the workforce alongside men and continue to do so today.
