How did the greater participation of women in the workforce change their role in American society?

Social Studies

slava [35]2 years ago

Although women have performed work since the beginning of civilization, equal participation in wage work is a very new phenomenon. In the United States, the phenomenon is mainly attributed to WWI. As men were fighting in Europe, women began to take jobs in various industries. Even after the war, significant numbers remained working in factories or as domestic servants. With WWII, larger numbers joined the workforce. This changed their role in American society in many different ways. For example:

  • The participation of more women in the workforce has been linked to a decrease in fertility.
  • Women achieved rights such as suffrage and divorce.
  • Attitudes toward sexuality (abortion, birth control) became more liberal and new laws were passed.
  • Industries that were originally closed to women became more accepting of female participation.
  • Household technology became more common place and reduced the time that women spent working at home.
  • Women gained financial independence, which meant they were able to participate more fully in society.

lisabon 2012 [21]
I think that the best answer is: <span>b.paleo Indians relied less on hunting big animals and more on fishing and gathering food


let's look at the options:  </span><span>

a. paleo Indians went to war with each other on a large scale due to scarce water resources
- This could be true if it was really hot, but this was not the case. Warming did not mean a really hot climate, but less harsh: so actually, there would be more, not less water resources.


b.paleo Indians relied less on hunting big animals and more on fishing and gathering food
- this is possible ! a warmer climate would mean that there would be more possibility to fish or gather food, which would mean that people didn't have to hunt - and they would not want to hunt big animals, as it's dangerous.

c.paleo Indians faced food shortages that resulted in a lower population
-no, a warmer climate would mean more, not less, food

d.paleo Indians lost land to rising sea level's</span>
