relate to

Women are more and more entering the workforce and many couples are dual earning families due to this powerful new ideology and the present day economy. Research shows that in 1960 only 15% of married women with children worked outside the home and in 2007 60% of those women are out at work.




Although many women are continuing to enter the work force, most are segregated into the secondary sector. Meaning, they are typically with low pay, no authority, no autonomy and therefore easy to fire and refill. And usually these jobs/occupations are female dominated where females are concentrated into. Most low wage workers are white, high school educated females with family responsibilities. Because of all this, women tend to make less money and their career ladders are cut short with their mobility stopped by male domination and this idea that men are "better" than women not only in the workforce but many other aspects.

For centuries, women have been inferior to men, not only in the workforce but in the home. Over time things have been changing. Today's society has begun to realize the full potential of women and have started to treat them with the respect the deserve. With the help of sociologists and education this issue of gender has began to ask questions and get answers.

For me, being a women, I understand the struggles females face simply because of their sex. There are many stereotypes attached to women that make them seem inferior and incapable of doing a good job. There are still people out there who think that the women's place is in the home. Coming to college I have realized how much women have gone through to get to this point where women are doctors and lawyers. Its amazing to see how far women have come because it gives hope to how much further we can go until men and women are in complete equality. Change in this case is such a good thing because its for the better.
