Firstly, whether a family live in a symmetrical family or not will have an effect on the divisions of labour. March of Progress theorists (Liberal Feminists) such as Young and Willmott argue that family life is gradually improving for all its members, becoming more equal and democratic. For example, women now go out to work, just as men now help with housework and childcare. However Radical Feminists reject the ‘March of Progress’ theory, and argue that women remain unequal within the family. Anne Oakley argues that we still live in a patriarchal (male dominated) society, and therefore women occupy a subordinate and dependant role within the family and wider society.
It illustrated how men had taken away the right for women to earn money from working, and men had also taken away the opportunity for women to get an education if they desired. This is what Stanton was fighting for, the right for a women’s freewill. If all men and women are created equal women should be able to attain anything a man can such as earn money and get an education. The final view on women’s rights in the nineteenth century is calmer than the previous two. Whereas the first two authors both preach for equal women’s rights and for better treatment for women this author, Catharine Beecher, is more discreet about woman’s rights.
AJP Taylor, for example, argues that the war ‘smoothed the way for democracy’ and so there are other factors of significance, such as, suffrage campaign groups (WSPU & NUWSS) and growing equality with men. Whilst this essay will recognise the importance of the view that WWI was significant to women receiving the vote, it intends to argue that AJP Taylor’s analysis is best supported by existing evidence and as such is the most accurate view. Paragraph 1: Isolated factor (WWI) In this paragraph, you should be showing balance but ultimately arguing that even though WWI played a role in women gaining the vote, it was NOT THE ONLY REASON. In 1914, when the First World War broke out, men were required to fight for King and country. This left a large void in the workforce and allowed women to secure employment in a range of industries; from making shells
The Depression hit women, like other minority groups in American society, similarly harsh because of that payrolls of many communities and private companies were open only to males. The main role of women during the Great Depression was that of the homemaker. Some women had gone through college level education and, like their male counterparts, were having a difficult time of finding employment. Those with families had the task of keeping their family together, as the traditional view of motherhood role, when the principle moneymaker of the family was out of work. However, some women joined the work force and would do jobs that men previously had held.
Over the years women have fought long and hard to be able to obtain and maintain legal rights and privileges that the male gender is born into. Females were molded and primed to play the part as an obedient wife and mother with instruction that your thoughts and opinions are kept to yourself. The perseverance of brave women helped today’s generation of women such as myself have the same equal rights as that of men. With all things you must have a burning passion in the pit of your belly to want to advance and defeat the injustice of this world. In order to put laws into effect there must be a group of people who all agree that new laws should be implemented because of majority vote.
(Crystalinks) According to Xenophon their education was based around the theory of Eugenics which is the idea of bringing about improvement in the type of offspring produced. Xenophon also tells the goal of Spartan marriage and education was eugenic and it was through this education “that he Lycurgus made his country preeminently prosperous”. Spartan women were not educated at school but learned to read and write at home. When compared to women from other states most notably Athens, Spartan women appear to have a much stronger education. Women in other states received only domestic education with the exception of the Hetaera who
They would only make the decisions for them “who could join up and who could not, where they could work, and when they could change jobs.” (Thecanadianencyclopedia) It was a tough life, but it was the only way to support their husbands when their off to war. Women working back home was great-replacing the men’s jobs, working for war industries, and raising their family. Even if the women didn’t sign up for the military, they worked hard in the Home front and tried to give us the best support we ever needed. Women worked really hard and made a great contribution in WWII that lead to an allied
Role of women until 1500 “Women Past Lived” Erin Snider World Civilization I Martha Stillman September 21, 2009 Women Past Lived Page 2 Women today have status and rights because of the women of yesterday’s many societies breaking through obstacles of extreme measures. Even though culture around the world differed in religion, dress, language and a few daily rituals there were many similarities that connected the way of life. The role of women in every society through early times including Roman, Medieval, India and China mostly ruled there women as inferior to their men and were unable to have many rights. Women were usually uneducated; unable to vote some of the case they hardly left their homes. The
This cut off almost a third of Americans because they had little to no high school education. High school played a big role in getting a career started for women which were considered white collared jobs. “but access to secondary schooling was determined by class and ethnicity.” Therefore, poor people had a low chance of applying and being accepted. The entrance requirements to be a teacher requires 4 years of schooling, a degree, and they also added a minimum grade for the state teachers examination. They had tightened their requirements because careers like doctors, lawyers, and engineers did as well.
Obama explained how he wanted to make sure that young women are going to be able to compete in the market place. Meanwhile, Romney wants not only men but women to be qualified for his cabinet. This shows how Obama and Romney want to make an impact in women’s lives by giving them more opportunities and help them out. Obama and Romney also shared life experiences during the debate by using Pathos. For example, Obama mentioned how he was race by a single mom and how her grandmother trained people who would end up becoming her
