However, despite which expectations women had to satisfy, their key…
The role of women in society has always been questionable due to years of unfair, unequal treatment in comparison to men. A revolution in which women began to break societal boundaries was inspired by the females who were called upon to replace male factory workers during World War I (Feminism, Enotes). Marking the start of a large feminist movement, the early 20th century allowed women to thrive in the workplace, particularly within the arts where female aesthetic became idealistic (Gale, 1).

Choice of Profession- Now-a-days, women have a variety of choice to choose their career from.

By evaluating the various structures and its functionality it provides, the function of gender contributes to the stability of our society. Specifically gender roles assign the responsibilities of women and men. In social role theory the gender stereotypes arise from historical occupations such as men being the breadwinner and women being the homemaker. In order to be in harmony with this perspective it is that women and men become active participants of these gender stereotypes in the workforce (Rudman & Phelan, 2010, p. 192). Stereotypes are learnt through the socialization process and influence stereotypical characteristics and roles. Interestingly enough Rudman & Phelan (2010) suggest that women exposed to non-traditional gender occupations,…

Women have fought for their equality between men throughout history. Women have fought for their right to vote, the right to receive education and more. Now in modern society, women legally possess equal rights as men. However, there is another huge wall women have to climb over; society’s gender norms and expectation. Gender norms and expectations are culturally constructed in a way that has historically been to the detriment of women; even though women have made significant advancements in sport, in the home and in the workplace, they still have to deal with limitations that are left over from previous gender expectations and assumptions that have held back women in the past. This contention is supported by the analysis of Jacob Anderson-Minshall’s article “Out of Bounds”, Howard Miller’s propaganda poster “We Can Do It!” and Cathy Glui’s essay “Richer Sex”.…
“The spirit of personal independence in the women of today is sure proof that a change has come...the radical change in the economic position of women is advancing upon us...the growing individualization of democratic life brings inevitable changes to our daughters as well as to our sons… one of its most noticeable features is the demand in women not only for their own money, but for their own work for the sake of personal expression. Few girls today fail to manifest some signs of the desire for individual expression...”…
