After all, in countries such as New Zealand (1893), Australia (1901), Finland (1906) or Norway (1913) women got the vote before the war began, whereas others such as Denmark (1915), Iceland (1915), Holland (1917) or Sweden (1919) gave it to women during the war without being involved in it. (http://www.firstworldwar.com/features/womenww1_three.htm) Women did make steps when it came to labor, but many women also looked down on the working class feminists.

A wider range of jobs became available to them, they gained more independence and weren’t viewed as second citizens but most importantly, World War One lead to women in Britain gaining the vote.

The variety of women’s jobs was very narrow and most women had never had a proper job in their lives. During the war, asso many men were involved in fighting, countless women had a job whether it was working in a munition factory, driving an ambulance or working for the transport of London.
Women’s rights in 19th century and 21st century There is no secret that throughout the world’s history women have been considered as the weaker sex; mostly by having less opportunities and rights than men. However since the nineteen-century women have fought for a more equal society and a more equal role by accomplishing a significant amount of goals that increased women’s opportunities. The life of an American woman in the nineteen-century was full of gender inequalities. Before, women were not even allowed to vote; the access to education was very limited; salaries for women were extremely unfair, and men had total control over women lives. Women were relegated to house and family duties such as cleaning, cooking and taking care of the kids.
I will also talk on how time brouht about a change for the women, I will compare the women from then until now. Women roles in the 1500 was very important in many different ways. Womens have always played an important role in the lives of mens, the church, the community, and schools. In today society womens are still playing an important role in the United States. Back in the 1500s there was not many schools, doctors/hospitals, and daycare center.
There was a massive disruption of the industries in which women were mostly employed, such as dress-making and textiles. This, in the end, was actually a benefit.

Women in the domestic services even left their jobs in order to work for higher paid jobs2. The first world war gave women more opportunity in the workplace as more occupations were open to them and the war also
Issues Women Face in Leadership By: Madelyne Burgos In modern society, women have taken the initiative to eliminate the perception that was once in the past a stereotype. Women have overcome an abundant amount of challenges and the results have led to them obtaining leadership roles that were once dominated by men. Hilary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey are two examples of women with outstanding female leadership and achievements. Unfortunately, women cannot celebrate just yet, they cannot disregard the accomplishments achieved so far, but as women we have not fulfilled the continual issues that are face with leadership roles. There is no telling how many women never get to this point -turned away from aspirations to leadership because of the difficulties and cost they anticipate (Lips, 2009).

World War One also played a large part the feminist movement as women who had previously been deemed incapable of much more than looking after children and husbands were now required to help in other areas such as the work force as part of the war effort. After World War One women were not content to revert back to their pre-war status. World War Two required women in the munitions factories and as land girls which due to the shortage of men gave, women a definite place in the working environment, and the argument of women being incapable was now of no consequence.
It was also the time when men and women are not considered to be equals. Women could work but there was a lot of discrimination at work, which made it tough on women. Women were given the option to study and work but the rest s society expected them to get married and start a family, which is different than today, where women prioritise working instead of raising a family. In the play Willy Russell shows the two main characters, Rita and Frank, story of their developing and changing relationships both as teacher and student and on a more personal level. Rita is a 26 year-old married, working class hairdresser.
