Document Summary
In the 1930"s women worked out of a necessity because of the depression: wwii opened new doors to women, it was now a woman"s duty to their country to work. In the 1950"s 1/3 of us labor force was female temporary low-wage employment. You cannot fundamentally change the role of one gender without bringing about major changes in the role of the other. : liberation confined to a privileged class cannot triumph. If it was unionized they got higher wages and continued to further the male advantage: men still have some privileges, more than women ex having more freedom from family responsibilities. Increasingly, it is the women who are leaving: the first large-scale migration of women migrant workers was in ireland in the 1800"s. Global family changes: marriage and divorce: modernization theorists tried to divide the world into traditional and modern patterns. Industrial changes shattered the pattern, now families are smallers and more flexible.
