Women 's Status Of Women

In the 1900s women were not primarily seen in the work force. Women were at home cooking fresh meals mostly from the garden they grew themselves. They cleaned the house, and took care of the offspring. Women accommodated to their men. The men were the main source of income. The women typically didn’t see the money nor spend it. If the women were single they happened to work but it was little pesky job such as a waitress. In 1930s even during the great depression women were discouraged getting jobs. Until later on during the 1960s that’s when women started to stand up for their rights. This is when they passed a bill stating “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act bans discrimination in employment on the basis of race and sex. At the same time the Act establishes the Equal Employment

The woman’s role in society had many changes during the era of WWII to the baby boom era. It went from the strong independent woman that can work in a factory to a house wife that takes care of the family to the final slightly dominant, but still dependent female. All of these different feminine mystiques were changed because of society and through indirect propaganda in TV shows and

The previous mindset was contributed by the “high unemployment during the Depression, most people were against women working because they saw it as women taking jobs from unemployed men” (Women). They became the majority bread winners while the man fought in the war. It is important to note, the patriotism of those women in the 1940’s to begin working was the stepping stone for other women to be able work. Like how the advocates of women’s right to vote, the working women in the 1940’s was also pioneers in helping women reach positions of power and to be respected. “Companies saw women’s needs and desires on the job as secondary to men’s, so they were not taken seriously or given much attention. In addition, employers denied women positions of power excluding them from the decision-making process of the company” (Women). Women later came into power and developed new business and organizations separate from their male counterpart. The 1940’s was a time of women independence without the males and the mindset of those women has transgressed over

As you know many things have changed since the 1960s and 1970s. For instance, women’s rights. Women rights have come a long way in education, work, family life, politics, and sports. But I am writing to remind you the importance in women’s work force. Women have always in a general manner…been under appreciated. It seemed however that sometimes needs made men realize or potential. You see during world war 2, nearly all women worked…this was directly related to the fact that men where away at war. Women worked both hard labor, and intelligent jobs. After they returned; women gave up their jobs and let men take over. Most women enjoyed the thought of a house life, but I don’t think most knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. Women

At a time when labour unions were gaining in memberships, organization, and bargaining power, women in the workforce made marginal gains during this period considering the booming economy. Sociologically, a healthy economy should in theory provide the framework for change. When citizens have low unemployment and more money in their pockets, time and attention is less directed at bread and butter issues like sustenance and poverty, and aimed at equality and social progress. For women unfortunately, this was not necessarily the case. Their battle with employers was still a struggle between classes than gender parity. Male union leadership would naturally further male worker interests first,8 and this shows a culture of sexism in the workplace that was clearly difficult for working women to overcome. Even union-dues paying women rarely openly questioned their subordination as a sex.9 They were most likely outnumbered and the consequences of being a whistle blower did not want to be entertained. In the mindset of women who worked however, was a developing identity as female wage earners and unionists.10

The Changing Role and Status of Women's From 1914-1928 We are studying how far the role and status of women changed between

July 28, 1914 marked the start of the evolution of women´s roles in the work place. Before the beginning of the 1900’s, it was quite known that women were to stay at home only. All of women’s work was around the house, while men were the ones who went out of the house. However, women moved on to working beyond their homes, as a consequence to World War One. While some had believed that men were ultimately superior to women, the many important roles women played during the war, such as working dangerous jobs and volunteering to fight, positively impacted women’s rights in the work place forever.

With the rise of the modern age economic survival has become difficult for families based on a single income. This economic need along with modern attitudes toward gender equality has resulted in women being represented in the workforce in greater numbers. However, until the 1960’s women faced severe discrimination when trying to enter and maintain a position in the workforce. Often qualified women would be passed over for men with less experience and education. Employers were fearful that women were too emotional and were not equipped to handle the stress of the work environment. Also driving the decision to not hire or promote women was the concern over the additional health care expenses and leave time pregnant

During the 1980’s I saw during my research that from the 1900’s to about 1985 ladies' share of professional jobs increased from about forty- four to forty- nine percent and their share of "administration" jobs nearly doubled, increasing from twenty to thirty-six percent. This showed me that after a while, nearly twenty years later, business owners and even the society took the role of our women seriously and started to employ them. The working ladies steadily started to not be attacked based on gender, therefore gender discrimination slowly started to ward off as a thing in the past. During the 1980’s ladies learned to deal with anything that was thrown at them. I am sure that this was proven to be fruitful as women took their jobs very seriously.

Prior to World War II, employers and the government held that there were jobs appropriate for women and jobs which were inappropriate because women were not capable of fulfilling the tasks involved in such work. As we

In 1920, women won the right to vote and they were gradually moving into the male-dominated labor force, but gender roles were not changing much. Due to the World War II draft, many women entered the labor force and even helped run the country. Upon the return of the veterans, many women were forced back into their homes. However, the opportunities for women were broadening and some women began making careers for themselves outside of the home. The 1960’s saw many feminist movements and in 1963 the Equal Pay Act was passed by Congress which enticed more women to get out of the house and into better careers.

     In the aftermath of World War II, the lives of the women have changed dramatically. Women spoke their minds out and wanted to be heard. World War II brought them a new outlook on how they should live their lives. It encouraged women organize social movements such as boycotts and public marches pushing for their human rights and protect them against discrimination. Alongside, they formed their own organization representing them against the federal government like the NOW or National Organization for Women. Through the years, women have been struggling to fight for equal rights and unfortunately still exist even at the present in some areas. Yes, women’s status was not like what they used to back then, where their

Women's Status in Islam In Islam, women and men are equal in terms of their relationship with Allah. It can be clearly seen that Allah has created men and women differently, this is so that they may fulfil different purposes in life. It is not a question of the superiority of one gender over another, rather it is a matter of role differentiation. Islam teaches that men and women complement one another and are both equally important.

After reading the report The Status of Women and Girls in Colorado I was in a numbing type of shock. There were things that I subconsciously knew like men will receive more than women in their lifetime but after reading facts that solidify this it was surprising.

Many of the facts such as these were shocking sometime syou know things and you see them in your world but after reading facts that prove and solidify what a person has seen it 's an eerie feeling.
