Working Women

Paper Summary:

The paper offers a feminist and sociological analysis of Canadian women that reflects the economic conditions and the psychological gender role allocations that have limited women to the household in a patriarchal Canadian society. The paper examines these facets of Canadian life and illustrates how one can see how women were up against immense odds when seeking entrance into a more independent role away from marriage and into the world of business. The paper explains that these new roles evolved from the 1950s into the modern era of the 1990s and the 21st century.

From the Paper:

"The basis of this sociological and feminist study on women in the workplace will analyze the historical progress of women in the family and economic structures that had limited them in the past. By offering new insights into the development of women workers in the Canadian business world, one can objectively rationalize the competence and competitive nature of women in relation to men. By realizing the past gender roles normatively associated with women in the household, working women have taken great steps in the past 25 years in becoming a competing force to males in a patriarchal business orientated system."
