The unequal distribution of domestic responsibilities has held women back for generations; it still today continues to hinder women’s progression in the work-place. It seems like everyone thinks mum will stay at home and do the dishes, her little boy will grow up to become a big, strong man but not her daughter, of course, she is far too busy washing her own children’s dishes. But it is not just women who suffer sexism, men do also. For example: Shelia’s Wheels sell cheaper car insurance to women only, and they say it's because statistics show women to be safer drivers. Would it would be fair for a bank to offer men better rates on loans if stats showed that men were better at paying back loans than women were, utterly ludicrous.

I believe that this had a great impacted the society, mostly women. This was because women back in the 1800’s were only considered to be house wives, looking after the children, cooking for the family and cleaning their houses. Many women didn’t have the opportunity to do everything or even have everything that Marie did. Many of them couldn’t even go to school because they had to stay home to help their mothers with the house. After she made that comet discovery she gave hope to all women and showed them that they can do whatever they want even if only men have done it before.
But although the family seems happy at the house on Mango Street It also seems its not the best house as the little girl describes.” It’s small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you would think they were holding their breath” (319). Moreover, the little girl showed the reader the struggles they had while living at the other houses. For example, the family had to pay rent every month, or share the yard with anyone they had on the bottom floor. They didn’t have old rusty water pipes which prevented the family from having to run out and fill empty milk gallons up with water. It seemed that the move was sort of a relief for everyone specially the little girl in the story.

A lot of elders don’t even have a high school diploma or even a college degree but they rely on their social security checks they get every month, local chapters, and the
Back on those day education for women was very limited and had we attended school back in those days we would probably end up learning about cooking, cleaning, and about how to please and cater to your husband's needs when you got married, as well as take care of children. Young girls didn't have the choice to get an education, and only a few girls could go to school, because usually their family could only afford to send one child to school, and the boy would be their first pick. Girls have a chance to go to university now and get a good, well-paying job. Back in the 1920's and the 1930's, women usually just skipped university after high school and began working, doing a 'female job', once they were done. These days in school we learn about important things, and girls can get the education that they need to have a good
Dictator speech People of Netzlechik, look at your lives’, what do you notice about them, are you swimming in money, are you able to provide your families with enough food and necessities or are you barely making it. Yes, most of our lives are spent struggling to feed our children, (most parents go starving just to accomplish this almost impossible task) . Most of you can’t even afford to put your children through school. What will you tell little José when he was so excited about learning a new word in his English class, or little Maria who begs you to let her go back to school, because she loves it so much . How does it feel to deny education to your children, deny the key to their future, the key to a better life.
