Question

Compare the status of women in the past with the present.

Answer 1

Women of the past were generally the keeper of the home. She made the family’s clothes; provided meals and took care of the home needs. She catered to her children all of this by herself until the female children were old enough to be of use. She was more a husband’s slave. She had no power to decide and just obeyed her husband’s orders. But today the role in the family that women play is more so an equal partnership to the man. They both work together to make the family function. Many a time, it is a single mom trying to mn the household chores. She works outside the home and inside the home; feeds her children at home and does whatever she can. She plays the role of a mother and a father sometimes. She does make decisions for the welfare of her family.
