Answer 1

Always occupying the role of subordinate women over the years and since the beginning of civilization, she suffered from oppression and discrimination based on gender and the way society understands her role, because in ancient times society understood women only as children, future wife and dedicated mother. The married woman always needed her husband's authorization to make her acts effective in the civil sphere. She was a parent and responsible for her children, however her mother's power was subsidiary. In the job market there was no respect, women suffered discrimination and were exploited by working always above their physical limits for up to 16 hours a day, receiving wages always below the man's salary. However, women have contributed a lot to the growth and development of society and have always been undervalued in history, which has always caused indignation causing them to fight for their rights and especially in labor relations. After great struggles and attempts at improvement and equality, women managed to have their rights and duties guaranteed by law, obtaining protection in all areas, as well as in the labor sphere. Nowadays women are entitled to equal wages to men, to be able to assume leadership positions.
