It is unclear and has been long debated over when the view of women changed. In Helen Zenna Smith’s novel Not So Quiet… she would debate that The Great War was when women’s roles and gender ideologies transformed because she portrays women as more masculine, has women doing men’s jobs, and the questioning of Nationalism. This brings about a new way for men and women to co-exist more equally in European society. Before the First World War gender roles for women were viewed as the house wife and nurture the children to be civilized beings in society. It was expected that they would rear their young.
To answer this question research will be made into how women were expected to act in western European society through nobility, townswomen and women that were considered peasants. This will be shown through varying views held as some believed that being a second class citizen depended on your class and where you were from as some women might have had more of a chance to step away from the sex classes, while others didn’t have this opportunity. This will help answer the question about whether or not women were second class citizens, and whether how right this question is about women or how wrong it is. If we look at noble women in the medieval ages between 1100-1400, they were able to have a happy life with wealth and riches that they could use at their disposal. Though there was more pressure on women in nobility compared to other women as they had more “demanded of them than other women.” While the husbands were at home they still had to obey them, this can’t be said though when the men go away for business, travel or for war because the women of the house would hold the authority.
The interesting part of this article is how it discusses how women’s role in marriage has changed as their role in society has changed as well. The strength of this article is that even though it discusses how marriage has changed and shows examples the bottom line is that people still want to find love and they are, regardless of the fact that the idea of what a marriage entails is evolving and changing. This article is very informative; it provides a history of what
Their ideologies of social reform were more conservative and traditional in nature. They felt that because women had different needs, the law must be made to recognize these differences because they are significant and relevant to women’s lives and their futures. They fought for women’s suffrage not because they believed it was their “right” as women to vote, but more on the pretense that it was their “duty”. They believed that by having the vote, women would have more political power to improve life for themselves and their children. Their emphasis was on women’s responsibilities as mothers, “Maternalism”, Public Housekeeping, and women’s biological difference from men.
Karen Anderson’s Wartime Women: “Sex Roles, Family Relations and the Status of Women during World War II” reexamines the various roles women occupied in wartime America. Anderson argues that though some historians they attribute women’s postwar employment changes simply to economics. Anderson implies that the 1940’s period played a more prominent role in developments, helping to accelerate the economic changes that would come after WWII. Moreover, though such studies exist in abundance today, in 1981 few historians explored the effects of living in a society with severe sex ratios. Anderson points out that despite continuing occupational sex segregation, a lack of appropriate child care, and the lingering negative attitudes regarding female employment, women persisted in gaining employment and opening doors for themselves and later generations.

The political, religious and social upheavals that occurred during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had major impacts on the lives of women, both in England and in Ireland. The Renaissance, the Reformation and the Counter Reformation affected the lives of women on a wider level, while the ‘Tudor conquest’ was an experience unique to the women of Ireland and had a major impact on their lives. It was a period of great change and transition in which the political survival of the Gaelic elite depended on the adoption of new customs and practices. In the period from the twelfth century to the beginning of the Tudor Conquest two distinct systems of law and tradition has coexisted in Ireland. English law was enforced only in the Pale and areas under the Dublin administration.
According to Gilman, the result is the traditional role of mother, which then is passed on to her children. There is a continuance of the role and image of woman as unpaid worker and nurturer. The author of Women and Economics argues that women have been stripped of freedom that has stunted their growth both personally and creatively in society. In the 2005 The American Transcendental Quarterly, Cynthia J. Davis argues that Gilman’s theory of women’s economic independence on which her arguments are based on “represents the triumph of
Issues of Women’s Liberation from the Oppression Found in Society and Marriages Sherry Heide ENG 125 Introduction to Literature Instructor: Louise Becker 09 January 2012 Issues of Women’s Liberation from the Oppression Found in Society and Marriages What is said of women suffrage is not always true today in America or other countries, what is the truth, is that it is based largely on the perception of the woman experiencing the suffering. Women throughout time have suffered from oppression in society and in their own marriages. Gender roles are not something we are but instead something we do. It is completely unnatural for women of today to be the money makers, everything to the children (taxi, disciplinarian, etc..),take out etc cook, housekeeper and so on yet still their husbands will is forced upon the entire family instead of taking his place with his wife as partners. Did the verse found in Genesis chapter 3 vs. 16 cause centuries of women's suffrage?
The methodological design is a qualitative approach using a critical psychological perspective. It identifies how these women in their interviews used discursive analytical concepts of interpretive repertories, ideological dilemmas and subject position to negotiate their identity. Two ideological patterns have emerged singleness as deficit largely influenced by powerful repertories and singleness as a positive status emerging from a lifespan model of how women able to turn their trajectories into victory. Background Singleness has been a grossly neglected of area psychological study. Marriage, long-term partnerships and the nucleus family are considered to be functional areas and considerable amount of attention had been given to them.
