Back in the 1950s, I lived in a relatively unusual household for its time. All of my friends mothers stayed at home during the day and took care of the children and the home but my protect worked outside the home. I always felt a small resentful that I was the one who never had anyone in attendance at school programs, that my protect didn’t belong to the PTA, and that I was uncommon than my friends, but I just didn’t realize that our family was on the cutting edge of everywhere society was going. Like the women that followed her, my protect also wanted her own career in addition to having a family.
This was unlike family traditions in the past that were based on practical sensibilities. Men were usually thought to be the provider since they were physically stronger. Back then, women stayed at home and cared for the children and the home since they were the only ones that had the ability to have children in the first place. Many women were fine with this arrangement. But, other women weren’t fine with being placed in that role and wanted something uncommon. Instead, they played their parts behind the scenes as the vastly-intelligent Abigail Adams did when she begged her statesman husband to “Remember the ladies”. Their own sense of worth usually took a back seat to peer pressure back then.
If you compare it to how women had it back then with how they have it now, then you’ll see that it was particularly terrible back then. Since the men were the providers for the family, they regarded themselves as superior to their female counterparts. The law relegated a wife to a position of servitude and obedience to her husband. Men owned all the material goods, and if the unthinkable must happen and a woman would leave her husband, she had no further rights to her own children.
As you might imagine, women ongoing to feel rebellious in their given role in life and wanted to be granted equality with men. They realized that they were smart and competent and needed more than housewifery to keep them pleased. Some of the more courageous women started to challenge the accepted mores, and the movement grew. Although there are still ways in which women don’t take pleasure in equal status with men, but the gap is narrowing. Doc No. 34Sdlhgsdl -sds
