Week 10- Feminism (WWpt6CH21)


The Collapse & Recovery of Europe

I love reading about the Feminist's movement & how we've over come oppression.
"In factories, women replaced the men who had left for the battlefront, while labor unions agreed to suspend strikes & accept sacrifices for the common good."

For the longest time, men told women that women had to stay home and take care of the kids, be the housewife, cook the meals, clean the house-- NOT work. Working was a man's job. Women can't do a MAN's job. It wasn't until these wars arise did these women stepped into the shoes of the men that once worked there. Women were given an opportunity to show themselves off and prove that they can do the work just as well! Had the wars not have happened, it would have probably put back feminists back a few years, maybe a decade to get to where we are today.
