    Chapter 6 of this book starts with a discussion about “women wage earners.” In this imaginary feminine society this phrase could be applied to every single woman of the working age, whereas in early 20th century America most of the women didn’t have any job, but housekeeping. Only the lower class one-third of the female population had to work for living, and it probably wasn’t their choice, they had to do it to be able to feed their family. Why is this so? Historically, societies in almost all parts’ of the world were patriarchal. Men had leading roles in all aspects of the social life, they were the ones who worked to feed their families and they also had more independence and power. Women weren’t obliged to work, but they had to care about the family and do domestic work. There were exceptions: higher class families hired servants to do the work, while women…

    Domestic Workers Thesis

    This number is not one hundred percent accurate due to the fact that there are many unregistered domestic workers with in the United States. These numbers are made up by both people that are legal to work as well as illegal immigrants that have come to the states seeking a new life. Many of these nannies do not live what many would call the “Mary Poppin’s way” when it comes to being a nanny. Many of them are mistreated and taken advantage of. With the amount of domestic workers in the United States what are there any laws to assist them when it comes to labor?

Domestic workers in the United States should have legal working rights set up for them so that they are not taken advantage of for what they…

    Gender Inequality as It Exists Today

    With current economic recession and inflation on the rise, the rising cost of living is beginning to take a toll on families. Stress is placed on the sole breadwinner of the family, the being the head male of the house, to earn a better income to provide for his growing family. Again, a woman has to be able to hold the family together to make sure that the family doesn’t fall apart. This means that no time is given for women to excel in their jobs, which then adds to the fact that women cannot be the sole breadwinners. As mentioned earlier, women are constantly being lauded for being able to cook well and at the same time, keep the house spic and span. Adding on to that, the widespread fact that women belong at home, especially in the kitchen, is being constantly being portrayed in TV shows, popular movies, books, and on the internet available for everyone to see.…
