Recommended: The influence of women in society

Women all over the world have had to fight to be seen as an equal contributor like a man. Women have certain qualities that allow them to think and act rationally while men strike at the first sign of doubt. A world without women would be useless because women possess the ability to create life and create beauty. Without women there would be no love, no passion, no sanity and no cleanliness. Although women have power to bring life into the world, they also have the power to destroy anything in their path. The world has not been completely corrupted because women have hope, faith and love, and that is the key to living. The women of this world are the ones that keep it spinning through hard work, dedication, love, trust and faith.
Of course every country is different and depending on their customs women are treated differently. It took the United States a long time to be able to accept the fact that women are as capable of accomplishing tasks as men are. It was not until Elizabeth Cady Stanton, along with many other women, started the women’s suffrage movement. It lasted seventy years and they did not quite succeed but they never gave up. For these women, it was like biting into a piece of cake for the first, they got a taste of what being heard feels like and they wanted more. In the United States today, women have more choices than ever before and the possibilities are endless, but in other countries women do not have the same privileges. Women in Afghanistan are vulnerable to harsh tribal customs and most of their rights are non-existent. Even though maternity death rates have gone down, more than half of the Afghan girls are still not in school, and those who are never finish. It is not unusual for Afghan familie...

  • The Role of Women in American Society

    1488 Words  | 3 Pages

    Women and men are nestled into predetermined cultural molds when it comes to gender in American society. Women play the roles of mothers, housekeepers, and servants to their husbands and children, and men act as providers, protectors, and heads of the household. These gender roles stem from the many culture myths that exist pertaining to America, including those of the model family, education, liberty, and of gender. The majority of these myths are misconceptions, but linger because we, as Americans, do not analyze or question them. The misconception of gender suggests that biological truths no longer dictate our gender roles as men and women; they derive from cultural myths. We, as a nation, need to do severe critical thinking about this delusion of gender, how has limited us in the home, media, and education, how it currently limits us, and what the results of the current and future changes in gender roles will be.

They stay home, clean, cook, and take care of children, in essence, they are housewives. While the men worked, fought in wars, and were the backbone of
