Women of the 21st Century

Women today have overcome the immense repression from previous generations. They have gained the right to vote, have fought their way into political positions, and hold full-time jobs. Women in the workforce hold jobs right next to men, doing the same work, and performing at the same rate. Many women choose to be stay at home moms when their husband can financially support the family without a second income. This however, is a choice, rather than an expected role as it was in the past. Women today pride themselves as being completely equal with men, and have proved themselves in many aspects to be just that.
