Women Are out of Reach

Women are out of reach

"I do not want to be the angel of any home; I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality. After that is secured, then men and women can take turns at being angels." I absolutely agree with this quotation of Agnes Macphail who was the first high-flying sister to be elected to the Canadian House of Commons.

If we look at our society as a whole we will see that women's rights have changed dramatically by the turn of the century and foster their achievement. Women are no longer expected to get married, have children, and stay at home to take care of their families, they no longer feel emasculated. Women have left the home and entered the work force. More and more achievement-oriented women are rising to the leadership challenge, even in some of the most male-dominated industries. The increase in the number of women attending college, the increasing number of women in the workplace or starting their own business has demonstrated to men who own businesses that women can be both managers and mothers and, in fact, can do everything.

Women have faced a struggle in defining themselves beyond their roles as mothers and homemakers. Traditional views cast a man and a woman as partners who together divide the responsibilities of wage earning and domestic work. I warrant that family is very important for each of us. Family is the first place where people learn how to love others, and it can cause a great impact on people's lives. Parents have the strongest influence on a child. It is irrefutable, that parents are all children's first teachers not only of such basic skills as talking and walking, but also of attitudes and behavior, sometimes children can emulate their parents' decisions. Since men and women have different kinds of personality, they take on different family roles. In my opinion, women's role in the family is more important than men's because women put more efforts to their family, women's way of loving their children is more easily understood by the children, and hence, mothers play a more important role in raising a healthy child.

There is considerable evidence that most working mothers put more emphasis on their family than their career. Nevertheless, mothers are usually the ones who take care of the home and the children while fathers being the main breadwinners in the family. Coincidentally, if children are sick, most mothers will stay home to take care for the sick children rather than go to work. So, it is more likely for family matters to affect women's work schedules than men's. Among other things, most women think of their husbands and their children while they are at work or are busy working on other tasks. Even if mothers have their own career, family is still their priority.

In addition to assumptions about the role of women in the family, it is easier for children to sense
