Document Summary
From time immemorial, most of the women always wish to be a part of a society where there is no difference between religion, race, nation and especially gender when it comes to rights. The central issue guiding my research paper is education and training. During the forties, there was an ideology that insisted that women s destination in life was all about marriage and motherhood. Women have the task of making a home for their husbands and children. Silverman (1997) illustrates this picture as normality , which means: The vision consisted of a nurturing wife and mother providing emotional sustenance to the family, and a stable husband and father bringing home the money (p. 173). A woman has to be a supportive character at home, docile and totally dependent in all fields on her husband. According to silverman, the responsibility of earning a living belongs only to the man, as the head of the family.
