Women in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

This past week, We learned about women throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s and how they overcame the typical stereotype of being housewives. Women were bored of the same old routine everyday. Wake up, feed the family, clean up and do laundry, go to sleep and wake up the next day. Women had gifts and skills they needed to put to work but they were not seen as capable people in the workforce. That was considered a mans job. We watched many videos of artists and they all used their platform to influence other women, spread the word and create a stance of allowing women to work in the workforce and get treated fairly, and equal to men. Whether that is rate of pay or behavioral wise from other men. It really seems surreal to watch these videos and learn about these past years because I have always grown up with successful-business women in my life. I cannot even imagine not being able to get treated fairly in the workforce. It was very interesting listening to all of the musicians sing and spread the word and I look forward to learning more next week.
