How has the role of women changed in the past one hundred years?
Certainly women's roles have changed in the past one hundred
years. Women are no longer just housewives. Women have gone from
being housekeepers, cooks, laundresses, child rearers, and puppets
to their husband or fathers to being Executives of Fortune 500
businesses and fifty percent of the workforce. Now women are
mothers who are either married, divorced or never married. It was
unacceptable for women to have children out of wedlock and to be
divorced. Women today can be the breadwinners and have the father
stay at home to manage the household and children. Women today can
work in jobs that was unheard of in 1910. They can work in jobs
only held by men before. They can serve in the Military in hundreds
of jobs never held by women before. They contribute greatly to
society now and they can even vote.
