The industry causes starvation of women daily. This, in combination with the strenuous work they do on a constant basis, results in most of the women becoming very weak and sick, often resulting in death. The switch in labor from the women working at home in a domestic environment (cottage industry) to that where labour brings in wages to the family (factory system), causes the role of the mother to change greatly. With the women now being able to earn wages out of the home, most of their time is devoted to work. Children can no longer be raised with the full support of the mother, father, or siblings.
Men believe that the things they do and accomplish, women will not be able to achieve or do better than what they have done. Women in the renaissance period have been an exemplar of accomplishing things men thought they could not accomplish. Women impacted the renaissance period by patronizing and promoting arts, progressing politically, and taking over jobs that were originally worked by men. Women in the renaissance period had many daily roles. Most of the time, they stayed home because of customs and prejudice.
Women were viewed as men’s property so they had to do whatever the husband wanted them to do. Also they did the entire domestic work and look after the children. These views affected their lives as they couldn’t do many things like sue their husband for adultery, for beating them and if they tried to run away they’d be captured by the police and bought back to the husband. The women had to look after children and the domestic work which people then thought that this was all they were good for so they didn’t give them a good education or a well paying job. Finally the men didn’t think much of women for doing things that they could.
Essay on the changing role of women as a consequence of WW1 Before 1914 Many women stopped at home and worked by doing the washing, sewing, and looking after their families, which were the normal activities of a housewife. Before WW1 just over half of all single women and one in seven married women worked outside the home to make money. The men were the breadwinners of the family, and were basically the boss; this was the way the hierarchy in the family was before 1914. Women in paid work weren’t treated the same as the male workers. There was a lot of sexist employers as most of them thought a ‘women’s place’ was in the home.
They taught their daughters skills in spinning, weaving, sewing, cooking and other household jobs. Their jobs in the private place of their household were to do cleaning, carding, and spinning, weaving and making garments. The poorer women usually had to do more jobs because they couldn’t afford slaves such as cooking, cleaning, carrying water from the fountain and working in the fields. Many roles of Athenian women can be seen on old Attic vases, pottery, statues and grave reliefs, these all show images of the women working in their home with slaves or children. Public Role - Usually the wealthier women did not have major roles in society; Greek women had virtually no political rights of any kind and were controlled by men; therefore it was uncommon to see women out in the public as they had no importance.
Women were relegated to house and family duties such as cleaning, cooking and taking care of the kids. The working opportunities for women in the nineteen-century were very limited. Employers regularly paid less to women; about one-half to two-thirds of what a man was paid for doing the same kind of job. Working was frowned for a woman because it meant that her husband could not support the family or that she could not get one job. For this reason the only women that were able to work were the ones that were the poor women or the members of the lower class in society.
I can’t recall many stories where they speak of women in any other way The medieval structure of fellowship society prevented women from claiming ownership to public authority. When they become a wife, she gave all her land to her husband, leaving a power in him and decreasing her power. Women were supposed to be submissive to their husbands and obey them, neglecting their own needs and desire to promote those of their husbands. In the Middle Ages public opinion and court system were under the control of the Church and aristocratic men who both agreed that a woman was to be like a servant to their husband and if they were single they had to obey their king, father, brother, or son, etc. The Church felt this way because they blame Eve for the failure of mankind and viewed all women to be an advocate of the devil.
Lucretia, the housewife of husband John Burnett, feels unappreciated and taken for granted while she maintains the house and raises their children. She spends her whole day “rearing...[her children]... and looking after her husband and the house” (King). This is the normal role of the housewife during the late 19th century. John Burnett worked on the construction of the railroads in town under the boss who would later steal his wife. Women in the Victorian era were dependent on their husbands financially and one third of all women in england still led a domestic housewife role (“Victoria’s Past”).
Also some of men just don’t let women to work just because someone needs to cook and clean house while husband earns money. In some of the African countries women always have to look after babies, look after the shelter, find the water and do all sorts of jobs like that. Also in Indian countries women always had less rights than men. And even if in Britain or other countries this stereotype can be challenged in countries such as Africa or India it hasn’t changed for a very long time. Women also is portrayed as week and delicate so women hasn’t got an access to jobs like building, driving and so on, just because they don’t seem as strong as men.
In addition, we will talk about how the 2nd Industrial Revolution create breakthroughs for modern times. During the Industrial Revolution many factories and mines did everything they could to exploit women and children by having them work in less than desirable conditions. Owners of these facilities determined that even though these children could not do the work as most of the men, they were often paid a lot less, if anything at all. In some instances, if the father died or disappeared, it was up to the sons or oldest children in the household to provide for the family. As often times they received more in pay than that of the mother.
