Changing Rolle Of Women In The Society
(http://www.amrrhm.supanet.com/index.html)
Throughout history, women have always aimed for a
recognized place in society. Guided by their own field of knowledge and
expertise, women like Marie Curie
in science, Mary
Wollstonecraft in literary writing, Simone de
Beauvois in philosophical existentialist debate, and Marie Stopes
, in medicine, to name a few, have brought about an awareness of the role of
women in any walks of life. The Marxist orientated Feminist movement of the 60'
and 70's, unfashionable as it may be today in some quarters, have nonetheless
forced the issue of women's rights to come into people's awareness. These front
runners have helped redefine and consolidate the nature of women's place in
society. Today the spread of global women's organizations
and the impact of women's contributions to society shows that progress has been
made, or has it? Because this subject crosses many disciplines and studies, my
enquiry will be only on a broad basis. It will consider whether progress in
furthering the role of women in society has been of some benefit to the
individual woman. Theories of progress may be enshrined in new laws but are
only valid if they are experienced in the life of people, and more precisely in
the life of women. Having been part of a movement in one form or another,
during my thirty years or so in England,
I have come to the question if any claim of progress is related to the need of
the individual woman. It is true to say that not all women have the same need.
The need of the woman who stay at home, raising children will differ widely
from the high flyer minded careerist. Nonetheless, in the extensive field of
equal opportunities, (employment, to name one), it would be good to know that
access is given to both on equal measure according to the true value of respective
abilities. It also would be good to know that the woman at home is recognized
as a valued member of society just as much as the one who deals on the stock
market.
