    Feminism: from

    the 1960’s to
    today.

    How women’s
    roles in work
    environments
    has changed
    over the past
    decades:
    From labor participation,
    eduavailabilitycational attainment
    and, women have slowly but surely
    turned the tides for the better by
    striving for a better pay, civil rights,
    and a better work environment.
    Employers expected women to leave the job after
    a few years to start families, and wouldn’t hire
    them to avoid investing the money.
    Women had very limited daycare options due to
    their work. Since they were always supposed to be
    Employmen ‘at home minding the kids’, employers didn’t put it
    into consideration. Women would also earn less at
    t over the the very same job.
    years: It was also very hard for women to become CEO’s
    or attain higher positions.
    Employment has always In 1963, women would earn $0.59 cents per every
    felt more unfair towards dollar a man would earn, compared to today’s
    woman due to the disparity
    $0.80 cents per every dollar.
    in wages and rights.
    Women’s
    earnings
    across
    the
    nation.
    The intensity of the color
    depicts how high of a
    percentage in pay women
    get compared to men’s
    wages.
    How income
    varies
    depending on
    the job in
    question:

    Women in financial activities


    would receive an even smaller
    percentage in wages, thus
    showing the unfair treatment
    towards female workers.
    Men V.S
    women in
    the
    workforce:
    Women earn upwards of $100 less
    than men in these cases, and other
    factors like race can impact their
    wages as well. In total, they earn
    roughly $150 less.
    The civil
    rights
    movement
    and its
    impact for
    feminism:
    The Civil Rights Movement
    had helped women attain
    more grounds for growth
    and development to higher
    and better positions.
    The book
    that sparked
    a question:
    This book helped women
    think of a better life with
    achievements and
    personal goals, not one of
    domestic pursuits and
    home-minding mentalities.
    Television shows with
    women as the lead roles
    started popping up more
    often as well, despite the
    criticism and scorn it
    produced.
    America
    and it’s
    effect on
    theMiss
    world:
    America,
    though heavily
    controversial,
    had helped in
    the sense that
    young girls
    could aspire to
    be something
    more than
    home-tending
    mothers.
    Same pageant, seven decades
    apart.
    Feminist developments in the 70’s
    Lots of things were formed towards informing women and empowering them.
    Further developments in the 70’s that stand today.
    From court legalizations to changes in ideals. Abortion sucks. Use a condom.
    Equal rights
    and
    recognizatio
    n:
    Congress’ approval of
    the Equal rights
    Amendment helped
    women all across
    America find better
    opportunities in work
    and lifestyle.
    Recent income
    and
    employment:
    What it all
    means for
    today.
    Women are still earning
    a percentage of usual
    male paychecks, and
    this is still a problem for
    the people of today.
