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.
Parsons said that these roles made things ‘nice and functional’. He also said that men and women were biologically suited to these roles so it was only natural for men to be the breadwinners and women are the stay at home wives. This is a very traditional view. There are many factors affecting power relationships and the division of labour between couples. Firstly, whether a family live in a symmetrical family or not will have an effect on the divisions of labour.
before the war women were seen to be inferior to men as women were seen to be the weaker sex. men and women had separate conjugal roles where the men would be the breadwinner and work to get money and the women would stay in the house doing chores and looking after the children. with so many men away at war there were few people to work in shops and factories so the government decided to get the women involved make them feel like they are doing their part to help the war source A3 shows this as there is a photograph of women working in an ammunition factory it was take during June 1916 knowing that women were needed to work in factories at this time I can establish that this source is very reliable but it lacks information such as the name of the photographer and location also there is no purpose for it which makes us question why was it created as it lacks important information it leads us to believe that the government may have staged this and planned to use it to encourage more women to help in factories just like the one shown in the photograph but never did. as the war began the government needed to get more women to help in factories just like source A4 shows a tactic of the governments to get more women was proper ganda posters which leads us to believe that this source is not very reliable but also useful as it gives us an insight on what the government were doing . source A4 shows a poster of a working women showing that the government want to recruit women for a land army the government has played on religion to encourage women to join the land army as it says 'GOD SPEED THE PLOUGH AND THE WOMAN WHO DRIVES IT' and religion had a big influence on the society.

Beth’s office is through the kitchen in the back of the store. The Paradiso’s mission statement is “To build a lifelong partnership of raving guest, associates and stockholders”. Her job is to order supplies, doing schedules, hiring employees, cooking, serving, counting the register at the end of the day and taking care of the store. Beth says her least favorite thing about her job is the turnover never having enough people to run the store. There are times that she has to be the manager and the cook at the same time.
This could be interpreted as a symbol for his dissatisfaction with Elizabeth because she is not good enough. It could also represent that their relationship lacks the spice that he craves; the spice that he received when he “sweated like a stallion” with Abby. Due to the way that he enters and decides almost immediately that he wants to taste the stew and season it, we also receive the impression that Proctor has probably done this before, therefore it is possible that he has not been pleased with Elizabeth for a long time. Elizabeth has not been present before this scene so it shows a lot about their relationship that she enters the room her first words are a question “What keeps you so late?” This shows that she is
Her father Louie did the entire house work and provided for Marguax and her mother; while he complained that neither of them did anything or appreciated him at all. She explains that “he did all the cooking and cleaning in our household, saying my mother was only capable of taking our clothes to be laundered; and buy groceries at the nearby mart…she always overbought and overspent,
Hello class and Prof. Alan, My heart goes out to Hanneh Hayyeh. Here you have a women who is poor and works very hard for what little money she gets, and appreciates the simple things in life, like having a nice kitchen. All she wants is to have is a little a beauty in her life which is a kitchen painted white, that reminds her of the times he shares with her boss Mr. Preston and it serves as home coming gift for her son from the war. I dislike her husband because of his attitude and lack of support for her dreams. Just because you are poor does not mean you should not have dreams of wanting better things.
Their whole lives revolved around taking care of the house, kids and husband. For example when their husband came home from `a hard day of work' their wife would have cold drinks and finger food snacks waiting for them (Scott, p. 225). Women weren't able to go out into the work force because they were given such an unfair wage. Women weren't able to make their own choices in life they only had once path pay to choose from, to become a typical house wife. The role of women is constantly changing throughout history.
Sammy works at the A&P supermarket in small town and seems to be tired of the boring day by day of the job. Sammy got the job because of his parents, but he does not want his fate to be similar to his co worker Stokesie “….married with two babies chalked up on his fuselage already” (Updike, 221). Three girls walk into the store with bathing suits not the usual looking customers at this store. “….usually women with six children and varicose veins mapping their legs….” (Updike, 221) indicating the normal customers are old women. The three girls do not represent conformity and Sammy would like to be like them.
