Before the war, women were treated equally in the workforce; they were paid equally and had equal job opportunities. Laura Bush made it seem like women were being oppressed saying, “Women cannot work outside the home…” and by grouping situations of the Middle East together false accusations were made. Riverbend blogs saying, “What I’m trying to say is that no matter *what* anyone heard, females in Iraq were a lot better off than females in other parts of the Arab world (and some parts of the western world-we had equal salaries!) We made up over 50% of the working force. We were doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, professors, deans, architects, programmers, and more” (August 2003, Riverbend, p.22).
From the beginning, wifehood and motherhood have been regarded as a women’s profession. They were not seen as breadwinners or professionals. As history has told us, women were considered the weaker sex, doing jobs such as laundry, milking cows, and taking care of children, leaving the “heavier” labor to the big strong men (wic.org). With technological advancement today, physiological test suggest women have a greater pain tolerance and statistics show that women live longer and are more resistant to many diseases. In the 20th century, women in most nations won the right to vote, this in return increased their educational and job opportunities.
An extremely important court case during the Progressive Era, Muller v. Oregon not onl improved the working conditions for women, but expanded the need for legal evidence for a court case too. It all began when women workers were forced to stay longer than their normal time, violating an already-existing Oregon law that stated women could not work longer than 10 hours. Curt Muller, the boss, was fined, but soon brought the case to the U.S. Supreme Court so it could be overturned. The event reached Florence Kelly, head of the National Consumers’ League, and she quickly recruited a skillful lawyer, Louis D. Brandeis, to help her with the case. With only a month to prepare and the Court having struck down a similar law in New York to regulate hours, the court hearing began.
Do you agree with the view that, in terms of employment opportunities, women did not gain ‘any significant advantage from their wartime experience’? Many women, especially shorthand typists and munitions workers, earned for more than before the war and gained greater economic independence. Many women worked away from home were they experienced a sense of liberation from their restricted home lives. Trade unions initially opposed the dilution of labour but eventually recruited many more women. 350,000 women were in unions in 1914, but 600,000 by 1918.
The glass ceiling barrier is a term used by sociologists to describe an imaginary barrier women face in the workplace that keeps them from being promoted into top level positions. “In 1964, when congress passed the Civil Rights Act, that banned workplace discrimination based on race or sex, women working full time made 59 cents to a full-time working man's dollar.” (Murphy and Graff 32) Half a century has passed and women working full-time now make 77 cents to a full-time working man's dollar. Should women have to wait 100 years for this injustice to seize as African Americans have? Absolutely not. Women who are able to keep their jobs, and find a reasonable and affordable childcare facility are impacted by the glass ceiling barrier.
Moving Forward Michelle Oliveira HIS 204 George Aleman 10/19/2012 For centuries in America women were thought to be inadequate to that of men. Women were in charge of the cooking, the cleaning, raising children among other less than appealing tasks. Still today, many of these views have not completely changed from our society, but in the United States during the twentieth century, many of the roles that Americans had become familiar with began to change radically. Women wanted equality and fought for it not only at home but in the work place, in education and the military and in other areas as well. During the nineteenth century, when the Women’s Movement was beginning, many schools were established

Many negatives still rise from Title IX, such as who coaches the teams. Since women are allowed to play in sports, should women be allowed to coach sports? This interesting question has brought conclusions that still show the inequality of women being “doubted” of coaching a specific sport team. According to _Sport in Society: Issues and _Controversies, it states, “From 2000 and 2002, 326 out of 361 new jobs for head coaches of women’s teams went to men” (Coaxley, Chapter 8). This is definitely a downgrade of women coaches for organizing and directing a sports team.
