In this episode of The Venus & Mars Show we discuss the vast shift in gender roles over the decades starting with the suffragette movement which was a campaign for women's right to vote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ever since then the roles between women and men within the family have shifted and changed in many ways.
Significant times of change that affected the modern family over the decades:
1. World War 1 from 1914 - 1918 saw women in factories while men were at war
2. Women got the right to vote in 1920
3. World War II from 1941 - 1945 saw women in factories while men were at war
4. May 9, 1960 the FDA approves the birth control pill
5. June 10, 1963 the Equal Pay Act was enacted into law
6. women burnt their bras while fighting for women's equality in the 1960's
7. January 22, 1973 - Roe V Wade (abortion/reproductive rights granted to women on federal basis)
8. 1981 the first female Supreme Court justice was appointed
9. 1993 - Family and Medical Leave Act was enacted into law
10. (January 23, 2013) Pentagon repeals Combat Exclusion Policy which was a law passed in 1994
that banned women from certain roles in the military. More specifically, the law prohibited
women from partaking in combat roles.
