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 the 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 larger public world of work and politics outside the home, "women's sphere" was the private world of the family and the home. In her home, a woman was supposed to raise and protect her children, to safeguard the morality and religion of her children and husband, and sacrifice her life for her the success and happiness of her husband and children. It was believed that women did not have the intellectual ability and emotional stability to participate in the larger world of work and politics. The women's traditional roles would slowly expand and become more equal to and like the role of men in society in order to help support her family and the larger community during World War II. For example, women worked for the solider camps as a cook, opened up small shops and laundries, and mended and made clothing. In addition to expanding their d9mestic skills into small businesses, several women took up writing, teaching, and running farms. Women also took advantage of the growing demand for professionals and became doctors, lawyers, and businesswomen. 41.
