Research It: The Changing Role of Women Since 1900

Product Description

The role and status of women changed more rapidly in the western world during the 20th century than in any other period of history. In 1900, few women had the right to vote in elections and most were not in control of their own lives and instead were treated as secondary to their husbands, fathers, and even brothers! During the course of the 20th century, which saw two world wars and dramatic advances in transport, technology, and communications, women's role altered dramatically. By 2000 most women had gained the right to vote and many had gained a more independent life than women a century earlier would have believed possible.
