Assignment:
Three ways in which women's roles have significantly changed in industrial and post-industrial cultures.
1. The role of women has changed politically. Women can vote, run for office and are involved in all areas of the political arena from staffing phone banks to writing speeches, serving as campaign advisors and serving as President of the country (Germany and Brazil are examples).
2. The role of women has changed economically. In pre-industrial cultures women work primarily in the home and are supported by their husband or father. In industrial societies women work primarily outside the home and earn their own living. Many times even married women will have their own banking accounts and will keep their finances separate from her husband's.
3. The role of women has changed religiously. With the rise of opportunities for women in politics and the economy opportunities in religious organizations have also arisen.
