Challenges for women in Todays society

There are many challenges that women face today that men do not have to deal with.  Most of these challenges relate to jobs and income.  When women get married and eventually have children they have to take time off, sometimes unexpectedly. Because of these reasons women don’t always get the job because they aren’t always dependable. Also, for this reason women don’t get paid as much as men do. Women right out of college make 23 percent less than their male colleges make. This was just astounding to me. Researches also have found that the few women who are quite successful are under 30 years of age, are NOT married, and have NO children. This also can mean that these women may never have any of the things such as a marriage or children. Furthermore because men cannot have children to have to take time off for, (although some men do), they become more dependable to the employer as opposed to a woman. So this is the major challenge for women in today’s society. Although women’s rights have progressed since the start of early feminist like Mary Wollstonecraft. Women before then didn’t have the right to vote let alone have a steady salary or even job. Women were looked at as things to stand and look pretty next to their husbands. Therefore, women have come a long way in their rights however, they still have similar and tougher challenges today.
