2. Women in the Workforce

Throughout history, women's roles in the workforce have evolved significantly. In the 19th century, women primarily worked in household settings or in low-paying jobs. The suffrage movement in the early 20th century challenged these norms, advocating for women's rights, including the right to work. World War II saw a surge of women entering the workforce to fill roles left vacant by men who went to war. Despite progress, women faced challenges such as unequal pay and limited opportunities. Today, women continue to fight for equality and representation in various fields, striving to dismantle remaining barriers in the workplace.
