The steroype of women and their role in society



Since the beginning of man kind it has been set that the men are to be the working ones and they are the ones that protect the family and provide for the family. The women are to be at home taking care of the family, cooking and cleaning and nothing else. However, at the turn of the 19th century women have become more involved in the working industry, voting and providing what the man is supposed to provide. There is many images that portray that the man is the one out and about and the woman is at home cooking and cleaning.

However times have changed since then and the demand for more equality. Women are being respected more in the work enviornment and are being taken serious. Although there is still plenty of sterotyping of what the woman's role is, that is disappearing more and more each day.

I think women are given more freedom to pursue a profession outside of the home. But do you think there is a new pressure for women to NOT be stay-at-home?
