Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Women in Britain are better off today than they used to be At the beginning of the 19th century, women seem to have almost no rights at all They could not vote, or even sign a contract Their marriages were arranged by their parents They were once kept at home and if they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs It
is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with that situation
Today the position is quite different Women now can vote and choose their own husbands In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value
Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between men and women Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act It is also more difficult for a woman to get promotion than a man does
There is sex distinction in England although it has not been so serious as it was More and more women go out
to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live independently However , there are two great problems to solve The first problem is men's attitude They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex We do not know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind And the other problem which is much more difficult is women's attitude They should be ready to struggle to change their fate
