(Cole, Joshua., and Symes 524). Although the Western Civilization II book shows only the accomplishments of males, there are women who have contribute to Scientific Revolution, in fact, it is learned that women were only allowed to help their male husband or relatives during the Scientific Revolution. Katherine Lady Renelagh was scientist Robert Boyle older sister. The way she contributed was by giving Boyle a home in London so that he can, “…pursue his thoughts, his experiments, and his writing” (Cook, Alan. "Ladies in.
Women were expected to marry, have children and financially they were expected to be fully dependent on their husbands. Women rarely had careers and most professions refused entry to women. However, between the years 1850 and 1901 women’s role in society began to be challenged. There were a number of reasons for this,
(3) A man was in constant control of a woman and she had to be dresses nicely, keep a clean and orderly home, and teachthe children, upholding finances as well as being there emotionally and physically. It wasn’t easy for a woman to live with no sort of control over her life, that of her offspring or how she felt, the turn of the century must have been an enlightened adjustment.

She wrote at the time how she regretted to be “of the softer sex, and never more than now.” Her book Woman in the Nineteenth Century, initially published as an article in the magazine The Dial, has been considered the first major feminine manifesto. Written in a period when women were not allowed to even have a college education, Woman in the Nineteenth Century is based on the equal nature of man and woman derived from the divine love of God. To compensate the lack of education of women, she hosted meetings with other women in the Boston area to discuss and debate the real purpose of women in life and other topics such as mythology, philosophy, and fine arts. With these “conversations” she gained more widespread exposure and laid the seed in women’s minds about their place in the world. Her work focused basely in social reform instead of individual improvement, which is what makes her work different than those of the Transcendentalists at the
Because of these conditions, all women in general are poorly represented in the technical fields. However, there are some women who have made many contributions to countries in the areas of science and technology, but some of these contributions go unrecognized. Over time, women have been involved in the fields of biological sciences, mathematics, and engineering. Whether these women have opened the doors for other women, whether these women have given other women the incentive to take the initiative and get involved, whether these women have made inventions that benefit society and have made contributions to science and technology. Science and technology are often
Even though little was known comedy seems to fill in the unknown facts and dialectic of her life. Mrs. Henry wants to clarify Aspasia existents and why she was misunderstood. Aspasia was not only a woman beauty but an important woman of Athens history in fifth century but also a person who played a key role in the intellectual development of Greece. I believe that she captivated this through known history facts through her first marriage which lasted a couple of years to Lysicles and then her relationship sexual ownership to Pericles. Mrs. Henry research on Aspasia birth and education leads us to believe that he was in line of lintier with the Aristocrats.
In the Gupta society, the women also were forced to be much more trapped than in any other societies. Families who preserved their families honor by protecting the girls virginity, ultimately would ensure a good husband, from a better family then their own. Girls were also kept confined and unsocial which Clay explains when she writes, " ... it was perceived that young brides could be more easily socialized to remain docile and loyal to their husbands and in-laws, even in abusive situations"(Clay 71). This trend of women now being kept away only for her husband seems unfathomable, but for many young girls it was their
Women and Society There once was a time where women were treated differently, just because they where women. Women's proper role in society was largely limited to the domestic sphere, and even in family life, both legally and actually, women were always supposed to be under the control of some male authority: first by the father, then by the husband, and if the woman were widowed, in many regions finally by either male children or the male relatives of her deceased spouse. The course of a woman's life was clearly defined: first as daughter and virgin, then as wife and mother, and finally as widow. Only a wealthy widow had any real chance of being more or less independent and in charge of her own life. During the 1920’s a woman’s role in society was to cater to their husband and families.
During the turn of the century they were still defined as mothers and wives and struggled to earn the right to vote. Even in the Roaring Twenties, once women had gained to right to vote and had more freedom over the way they dressed and behaved, the still could not have fulfilling careers. The fifties marked a time when the American family closely resembled the values of the Cult of Domesticity with the ideal aproned housewife and working husband. Even today women still struggle to be paid as much as men in the same positions and to be seen not just as mothers and daughters. Though the Cult of Domesticity is long gone, we still suffer from the ramifications of it and the society from which it was
If women’s grades decline in STEM, economics, or other quantitative fields, women often switch majors to pursue more forgiving humanities degrees. However, since STEM majors usually command the highest median salaries, women are missing out on future earning potential (10). To that end, in “Embrace the B’s”, Catherine Rampell uses research studies to evoke her audience’s thoughts and attitudes toward affecting change in these disciplines, while continuing the larger conversation regarding gender inequality. First, the author helps
