It was also uncommon to see women or wife with children working. Many felt the women’s place was at home caring for her children or doing housework. Many religious folk at that time felt Gods will for the wife was ion the home. Rosa came from a single parent home raised by her mother and brother. Rosa mother did odd jobs like sewing and house keeping for a living, with the assistance of Rosa help. Rosa met her husband Raymond Parks who was a barber and member of the NAACP.
Once Rosa and Raymond married Raymond Parks did not care too much for Rosa working. Rosa was asked to be the secretary for the NAACP taking notes for the meetings.

NAACP but her husband did not consent and felt Rosa needed to be at home because it was to dangerous. Rosa continued to work and was even told by the NAACP leader Edgar Nixon, “Rosa I’m not responsible if your Husband Parks get upset for you working. God knows a women place should be in the home cooking and cleaning.” But Rosa insured him that everything was fine and her husband did not mind her working.
Rosa was a radical female because she felt that she was not going to be taken advantage of and went to any extent to prove it.
Rosa was once kicked off the bus for refusal to get off the bus and enter through the rear, after she paid. This experience also made her husband Parks were weary and determined that his wife should not work and be at home. Rosa had made up her mind that she was tired of the way society was running and was determined that she could make a difference. After Rosa was arrested Rosa for the refusal of her sit to a white man, her marriage was at stake. Raymond Parks felt that the NAACP was using his wife to their advantage. Rosa was the reason for the bus boycott and a leader to many. Raymond felt his marriage was suffering because Rosa was never at home and had Rosa regretting ever thing she did for change. Rosa husband Raymond Parks finally realized the importance of what his wife did and was able to look past tradition and see his wife equal to make
change.
It was hard for a man to swallow his pride when a woman accomplished something that a man wasn’t able to accomplish. But Rosa continued to make a difference at whatever cost. Rosa not only fought for the equality of blacks, but the equality of women.
Many African Americans believed women could not help but only harm the fight against racism and segregation, even though many contributed to the change for blacks. Rosa did not only prove segregation wrong, but many traditionalists who believed women were less superior then a man.
