The Weaker Sex?

Women were long considered naturally weaker than men, ignoring the fact that caring for children and doing such tasks required heavy and sustained labor. But physiological tests now suggest that women have a greater tolerance for pain, and statistics reveal that women live longer and are more resistant to many diseases.

Because of maternity "the natural biological role of women" has traditionally been regarded as their major social role as well, the resulting stereotype that "a woman's place is in the home" has largely determined the ways in which women have expressed themselves. Nowadays the cultural pressure for women to become wives and mothers still prevents many talented women from finishing college or pursuing careers.
By the end of the 19th century the number of women students had increased greatly. Higher education particularly was broadened by the rise of women's colleges and the admission of women to regular colleges and universities.
 
 
I think it is great the way that women can show that we are not what men used to think (inferior), that we are more that what they used to think, and it is important to remark how that with effort we can do anything.

  3. In my opinion this change is wonderful I like the idea that now the women can studied what ever they want because in this time some women are more inteligent that men so we (women) have chance to emphasize in the things we can do and we can everything we want with our effort, we can study to learn more and to have a better life.
