(4)For approximately the last 100 years women have been fighting for the same rights as men, especially around the turn from 19th to 20th century with the struggle for women's suffrage and in the 1960s with second-wave feminism and radical feminism, and were able to make changes to the traditionally accepted feminine gender role However, most feminists today say there is still work to be done
Numerous studies and statistics show that even though the situation for women has improved during the last century, discrimination is still widespread: women earn a smaller percentage of income than men, occupy lower-ranking job positions than men and most of the housekeeping work However, there may be some reason for this, as some studies have indicated that many jobs which are perceived to be male-dominated usually have longer hours, necessitate long periods of exposure to the elements, are higher risk and require a fair amount of physical strength
When feminism became a conspicuous protest movement in the 1960's, critics often argued that women who wanted to follow a traditional role would be discriminated against in the future and forced to join, the workforce Many women, especially single parents are denied this choice due to economic necessity In theory, feminism is the belief that a woman should have the right to make her own decisions Those women who choose to pursue careers and higher education are more and more appreciated
