The Changing of Roles in Society

Recently I read an article about women's changing role in society from not being able to have an education, vote, and basicly not being able to leave the house to being able to do everything a man can do today. Women didnt have much authority whatsoever until the seventies when more people began to recognize the more free women were able to be. It wasnt really that they couldnt do things like get an education or get good jobs it was that society saw it as odd and indifferent. Women became more free from all that, when society noticed that women can do things to the ability of men. Another thing that women were not able to do was to fight in the war. There were nurses but they could never enlist in the military. Now Women can fight in the military and do things that men can do not just in the military but all sorts of the forces. A connection that I made while reading this is that when I was watching T.V. shows from the 1960's such as leave it to beaver I could see that the women had a lesser role than the men, but as I watch the more modern shows now I can see the more roles a women can have in not only the household but society. In conclusion most people have changed there look on women and that they can do everything a man can do.
