How have gender roles and expectations changed over time? What aspects have been slow to change? How have these changes both benefited and burdened women?
What will be an ideal response?
Students can describe changing women’s roles from working on family farms and businesses to the Victorian ideal of homemaker—even as women in low-income families often worked in mills and other capacities to help support those families. They can note changing expectations in the Roaring Twenties, the Depression years, and the war years that saw women needed in the labor force, the return of older ideas of homemaking in the 1950s, and challenges to this ideal in the 1960s and 1970s. New roles have opened to women since, but many women are now feeling overburdened with the demands of being both fulltime homemaker and fulltime wage earner.
