Female Physicians and Lawyers

Paper Summary:

The paper describes how historically, women have been considered the caregivers in society. Taking care of children, the home and catering to their husbands needs have been acceptable roles for women in the social order. However, in the twentieth century women began to demand that they be capable of being independent of men and that their societal roles be of their own choosing. The paper discusses how the struggle for women's rights that reached its climax in the 1960s forced society to begin to view women as intelligent, capable and resilient human beings that could take on multiple roles and still be as successful as their male counterparts in business. Yet, although women proved their capabilities, the paper notes that there was often still an issue of respect for them as professionals that was lacking.
