and in politics....

the woman's right too

Answer 1

A women's place is a very intriguing issue. I believe that women have indeed come a long way. The importance of this is single-parent incomes, disabled spouse and different points of view. When residing in a home with the women being the only able source of income, I feel they should have the same amount of opportunity. Only as long as they are capable of preforming the reasonable task assigned, reasonable would be the same task a male would encounter in that position. I also believe that women sometimes bring new positions into question when deciding certain issues. I believe in order to make an educated choice it is crucial to consider all positions available. They have evolved more and I believe the key of this issue is the balance of excess and deficiency. In excess I mean requesting xtra consideration instead of equal consideration and in deficiency I mean being rewarded equally as a male in the same position.

Answer 2

Well, at the beginning of this century women still weren't allowed to vote, and if they worked outside of the home they were made to feel as though they were neglecting their children (by everyone, I don't mean only men were making them feel that way) Also, it was unheard of for a woman to wear pants in public, or to show their legs, or to go out without having someone with them or they would be looked at as a woman of ill repute. Even during the fifties, sixties and seventies some of these things were still social morays that were hard to move past (such as working Moms and Single Moms).
And at the end of the century women can do all of these things and more. In marriage men and women have more of a give and take role with each other instead of the entire financial responsibility being on the man and the entire emotional responsibility being on the woman, in work women still don't make as much money for doing the same job as men, but it's getting better, and in education women can pursue any type of education they wish whereas before they would have been pigeon-holed into certain areas that were acceptable (secretary, teacher, etc) One of the great things about everything being more open to all people is that the level of creativity has been pushed, there are more well-known writers, artists, etc who have contributed to the arts which at one time was considered taboo for a woman of proper upbringing to be an active part of. Did I answer the question? Sorry, I babble sometimes.

Answer 3

Since the beginning of THIS century?

Not that much. If anything, it has gone backwards with the
advent of the Neo-Cons.

See "Are men really necessary" by Maureen Dowd.

Since 2000, more women are electing to be "stay at home"
even without kids. Most girls prefer to have boys pay for dates,
and even subscribe to the concept that they should be asked
and not do the asking.

There was awhile when some of these things were more
balanced, but we seem to be swinging BACK towards
Victorian era role models. However, we have a LONG way
to go to get back there.

The current fit of retro-sensibility is probably temporary as
it seems to be quite American and not reflected in other
Western cultures.

I expect we'll see some more swinging back and forth as
both men and women come to terms with the fact that
although theoretically you can "have it all", that's usually
pretty tiring.

Answer 4

well back at the beginning of the century a lot of parents chose who their daughters should marry. and it was uncommon for women to divorce or work. only a few women went on and recieved an education in college. i think if it wasnt for the women activist who worked hard for a womans right to vote, the women who helped out during the two world wars, women would be stuck in kitchens everywhere.

Answer 5

The womens suffrage movement began somewhere around 1870(i think)....with Seneca Falls...research Elizabeth Cady Stanton and L.Mott for that. There were orginially abolistionists....then switch to women's suffrage.

Wasn't until 50 years later women got the right to vote....then and only then women left the restrictive "victorian age" oppressive ways behind.....they started to enrolled in colleges...owned their sexuality("it" girls) and so forth.

Women worked...but not all....during war time is when women really began working in great numbers and only b/c they had to....the men were not around.

Also Margret Sanger( Planned Parenthood)..while some will say she was racist...she did have odd views, but her main issues were really with poverty...not blacks
(though they were the poorest). She pushed for birth control for ALL women.

Politically besides women's suffrage research V Woodhall....first women to run for US president.....she was in a state that actually allowed women to vote!

You really should do your own homework and research.

Answer 6

1900? well, let's see. Women couldn't vote until 1919. Women couldn't legally control their reproductive faculties until the 1920's and couldn't efficiently control their reproductive faculties until the 1960's.

Women were less than 25% of the college demographic in the 1920's.

It was completely legal to discriminate financially and in terms of employment against women until the 1980's.

It was completely legal for bosses/seniors to demand sexual favors from women in the workplace and the Armed Forces until the 1980's.

It was completely socially acceptable to mock young women for having any career or educational aspirations at all until the 1980's (it's still done--it just isn't quite as socially acceptable).

Women were allowed to serve in the Armed Forces only during wartime until the late 40's. They served in separate units with separate designators (WAC, WAVE, etc) until the late 1970's. Women were restricted from serving in combat support units or combat aviation until the early 1990's.

Answer 7

Women earn an average of 75 cents for every dollar men are paid. Enuff said?

Answer 8

women have more power than men about most everything except physical strength and some women are even stronger than some men.
the best thing for a man to do is what his woman says.
she always wins....

Answer 9

Women are feminine in nature. So please do not ask any women what place have they arrived after so many centuries. Women don't think in terms of achievement but they think in terms of fulfillment.

Answer 10

In the US women are equal to men and have all the same rights. In other countries, they do not.
