How and why have the lives of American women changed since World War II?
In the past women were in some ways thought of as being inferior to men. The typical lifestyle among families was for women to stay at home while men worked, and this was the acknowledged as a way of life for both parties. Although certain generalisations still exist much of this has changed, especially over last century. A hundred years ago women were thought so inferior that they were not allowed to vote. Early in the twentieth century things began to change. Many protests took place amongst women hoping for voting rights, and this led to them being given the ballot in 1918. But even then it was only women over the age of 21 who could vote; the voting age for men stood at 18. It took until 1928 for women to be given equal voting rights. The rights of women have grown significantly ever since.
