THE ENTRANCE OF WOMEN INTO THE WORK FORCE SOCIETY AFFECTED THE UNITED STATES IN MANY WAYS, IN MANY WAYS WOMEN WERE EAGER TO WORK FOR MEN BUT THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DISCRIMINATED AND HARRASSED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HELPED THEM GET THE JOB AND THE LIFE THEY WERE NOW USED TO. WOMEN NOW HAD THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND WERE EAGER TO. WOMENS ROLES CHANGED A LOT THEY WENT FROM ORDINARY HOUSEMAKERS TO OUTSTANDING WORKERS. DURING WORLD WAR ONE THEY HELPED WITH THE FARMING AND WITH THE MACHINERY AT FACTORIES, AND DURING WORLD WAR TWO THEY WORKED IN THE FABRICATION OF WEAPONS AND SHIPS. WOMEN GAVE ALL THEY COULD AND THEY MADE SURE IT WAS THE BEST THEY COULD. tHE FAMILY STRUCTURE CHANGED BECAUSE WOMEN BEGAN TO SEE THAT THEY DID NOT NEED A MAN TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THUS THEY WERE MORE LIBERAL ABOUT HOW THEY RAISED THEIR CHILDREN AND IF THEY NEEDED A FATHER OR NOT!!

Women's change of roles in society changed dramatically not only by there role as a citizen but also their role as equal to men in society. Women were starting to have men jobs and where getting the housewife lifestyle out of the way and started the women's work force which showed that women were making an impact on society without help of a man
The entrance of women into the work force had both its pros and cons.
Pros: 1) Women were finally recieving more rights, such as the right to vote. 2) Women were more equal to men than they had ever been. 3) No longer were women seen as the "stay-at-home" moms who cleaned the house and had dinner ready for their husbands and took care of the kids.
Cons: 1) Although they were able to enter the work force and find jobs, women were heavily underpaid and disrespected, especially by men. 2) The image of the homemaker was still laced in the minds of the American people. This image and perspecitve would take much more than merely having women get jobs to change.
I thought it was interesting that three men commented on Women's rights... so men, do you think that the role of women today should be a traditional one of the woman raising the children while the man brings home the bacon? Is it positive to continue to change the role of women from home makers to bread winners? What impact, if any, would that have on the families of America?
