CHANGES IN WOMEN’S LIVES

1For many women, life today is different from life in the time of their grandmothers. The changes have come very slowly but in many countries women now take a more active part in society.

2During World War I and the World War II many men went away to fight. This meant that more and more women had to work outside the home. For many women, this was the first time that they were independent and they had their own money. They were not wealthy but many women were not so poor as they used to be. At the end of the war they did not want to go back to the kind of life they used to have.

3In many countries, many women also started to fight for the right to vote in elections and to make political decisions. Their votes were important and male politicians had to start thinking about what women ask for.

4Other important changes affected the women’s lives. More girls started to go to schools. In the past, people used to send only their sons to schools. Many people used to think that education was too expensive to «waste» on girls. In time, governments started to provide education for girls and women were then able to get better jobs.

5Life for many women has changed but in some places it is still the same as it used to be 100 years ago. More than half the world’s population is female but women own less than 10% of the world’s land. On average, women earn 65 % of the salary of men. There are no women in the list of the world’s 100 richest people. More than three times more women than men cannot read or write. In schools girls usually do better than boys but boys generally get better jobs when they leave schools. In some countries, only 10% of the labour force is female.
