Many women have made a huge impact because of the jobs they have had. For example, Hilary Clinton she is the secretary of state. She is a woman, and she has made an impact in the U.S.A. as we know it. Now that women are able to get jobs, men don’t have to do twice the work because they have help from their wife. Besides that usually women work, take care of family and homes.
However, by the mid 1900’s women were finally allowed to go to school, have a sophisticated career and sometimes, make more than their husband. Women now lead busy lives and with high level education, and careers, some women choose not to get married and the divorce rate is over 50%. Women have gained a lot of respect. In the 1920’s, men thought they were better than women, however now, many women hold high positions of power including, MP’s, Prime Minister and Premiers. Women can have highly respected positions and have proved themselves as leaders.

By 1945 80 percent of collective farm workers were women, providing a more traditional role for women in manual labour. The rapid growth of industrialisation and collectivisation led to a dramatic decrease in births in the early 1930’s. The government tried to implement measures to bring the birth rate back up. Women who had more than 6 children qualified for state help. The rewards were considerable amounts of money, women with 7 children received 2,000 roubles a year for five years and 5,000 a year for women with 11 children.
Of these, 9.6% are Hispanic, 6.4% are African-Americans, 0.5% are Asian and 3.6% are women. That means that approximately 80% of U.S. firefighters are white males and that diversity still needs to be addressed in the fire service. Clearly, minorities have a small representation in the fire service. Regarding women, the 2008 Report Card on Women in Firefighting based on the 2000 census data, and the only recent report on the topic found that firefighting was in the lowest 11% of all occupations in terms of female employees. The same report found that among the 291
Week 7 Assignment 2 Through history women and the GLBT, community has been looked down upon as inferior to men. As time has proven to be a good thing for women especially the last decade because it has been a time of great advancement for women in the workforce and the outlook that society has on them. I think that people in the United States are also becoming more comfortable with the GLBT community. More people are able to express themselves for who they really are and people are becoming more open to the idea of love without limits. I think it is important to look back from where we have come and see the progress that is being made from where we started to where we are today.
It threw light on the fact that Roman women had more opportunities to participate in the cultural, political, and economic life than their Athenian counterparts. In a brief epilogue, Pomeroy draws some general conclusions about the respective status of Greek and of Roman women from evidence presented earlier. Critique: At the time Pomeroy wrote there was, she explains, "no comprehensive book on this subject in English". Although her study was not primarily intended as a college textbook, it soon became the standard text for women-in-antiquity courses. The fact that it has remained in use for almost twenty years indicates that it serves that purpose well.
Even with the economic boom that made staying at home possible, the jobs available to women were limited in both type and potential. Even though women had acquired better homes and more conveniences than in any previous generation, by the 1960s, a full-time homemaker spent more than fifty-five hours a week on her domestic chores. Collins notes that, “many of the young couples setting up housekeeping were escaping hard times, and a stay-at-home wife was a kind of trophy—a sign that the family had made it to middle-class success and stability.” . She points out that if many women welcomed the role of full-time housekeeper and homemaker, it did not reflect a “lack of enterprise” on their parts. After all, the jobs available to women were
Unlike other professions, which have seen a steady increase in female participation, nursing has made no sweeping changes to create a better gender balance in its workforce. Consider the growth of the number of females in traditionally male dominated professions like medicine. In roughly the same 30 year time period, enrollment and graduation of women in medical education has increased from 17% to almost 50%, whereas male enrollment in nursing school has only gone from 2.7% to roughly 5%. Traditionally the nursing workforce has been female and predominantly white. As more career opportunities open up for women in other fields, the nursing profession can no longer expect an unlimited supply of women to fill openings.
Women comprise 35 percent of the country's 51 million shareholders.

Question: Where does this lack of awareness surface most often? Answer: In organizations where one gender mainly sells to buyers of the same gender. Take stock brokers for example.
