In the last twenty years, we have become increasingly interested in how women’s roles and lives were changed by the growth of cities and industrialization. With Women’s Liberation Movement, women discovered new opportunities and their roles. They have gained confidence in their abilities and skills. Years ago, while the “men’s sphere” was the private world of the family and the home.
