in my opinion women were defined physically and intellectually as the 'weaker' sex, in all ways subordinate to male authority. But this changed when world war's happened. Women made a lot of progress during the war. Their roles changed again after the war as men returned to their jobs. Women were expected to give up their wartime jobs and resuming their homemaking role full-time. And I think that was the last push for women and that one big reason were they are but they get paid less than men in the same job so it's still unfair.
