However still, today, women are still treated unequally, with men still being the main gender. Women were considered as being naturally weaker than men. Since early times, women have been the strength in the home and family. In the late, nineteenth century the similarities and differences connecting those periods into the 20th Century, Life for women in the 1920’s according to the changing for women of today.

Yet, women nowadays have more independence to express their concerns, the idea of women being housewives and a mother hasn’t really changed; they are still the same individuals with the same attributes.

Not, only is she now admitted to business establishments, she is warmly welcomed, also, by some. Wheeler, William, and Becker, Susan
