As a result, urbanization quickly started going out of control due to lack of communication, too many people being forced into slums, and many other reasons. Without the help of women, urbanized areas could have become horrible places to live and nothing would have gotten done.

The Hull House offered instruction in English, counseling to help immigrants deal with the American big city life, childcare services for working mothers, and cultural activities for immigrants of neighborhoods.

Taking on that extra job assignment that may seem overwhelming for a woman with all of her other responsibilities; her children, her family but, this could be that breaking point between herself and another co-worker. Sometimes doing things that we are unsure of in the work place such as taking on an extra task or taking a business trip could be very beneficial to building the career that they actually seek. Women take on a lot more responsibility than men.

Feminist movements have challenged the traditional stereotype of a woman’s role of being a stay at home mother and caring for her family. Women are less willing to listen and obey their patriarchal husbands, and in a majority of households; there are dual working families. Although radical feminists argue that we have still not achieved equality between men and women; there has been major improvements.

The Women’s Right Movement changed the lives of the American Women for the better, due to gaining the right to vote, access to higher education, and the opportunity to enter the workforce. Before the reform movements of Women’s right, the American women were discriminated in society, home life, education, and the workforce. Women in the 1800s could not only vote, but they also were forbidden to speak in public.

Superwomen: Choosing to stay at home vs. Climbing the corporate ladder It’s hard to believe in 2013, women still battle with this age old dilemma, of feeling the need to choose between either staying at home with their children or working outside of the home. It’s true that the majority of mother’s in the U.S. work outside the home (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2012) , as it has been for the last two decades, however, there are still women that debate whether to stay at home or work.

Stereotypes and prejudice is a huge problem what causes gender inequality and can limit women’s opportunities in different ways. The most important problem is that most of women can’t do some types and sorts of jobs. There are loads of stereotypes what existed very long time.

This stereotyping of women has created inequalities in the workplace that has affected women in the areas of executive promotion, management, salaries and career choices. I will elaborate on those four highlighted fore-mentioned areas to develop and prove that these inequalities still do exist.

This is as a result of the patriarchal system adopted that Women’s place is in the home and has never seen them as bread winners/providers as such their contribution to the home as housewives were almost never seen as a work that required any financial reward. This tendency of viewing women’s contribution as insignificant has been extended into the work place, in the light of this it was stated that “unemployment is higher for women or they are at a greater risk of being fired, little access to jobs that require skills, less pay for equal work and underemployment are chronic, growing phenomena that particularly
