Not having maternity or dependant sick leave was mostly a concern for women who worked in workplaces because for maternity leave the woman has to leave the work place for at least a month and workplaces did not provide such an extended leave to women.
Explanation:
Women who worked in work places did not have enough enough rights. On top of it all they were paid less than the workforce of men. Men did not have any consequences to bear to this ill treatment women had to face in the workforce.
Women working in labor force and yet going into labor was not appreciated. After a woman gave birth her value declined. Women had to fight for their rights for decades.
