How has women's roles in society changed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not changed as much as expanded. There are still the many stereo types that woman still deal with to a lesser extent, but now with the added burden and stress of competing with men on a unfair playing field and still for the most part expected to perform female and maternal roles.

Some of this is societies fault as we continue to program our youth that way. And some can even be blamed on woman themselves as hormones color and influence thought patterns to a certain degree.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Ditchley portrait has many symbols in it. The reason of it being painted was because of Sir Henry Lee, in Ditchley, Oxfordshire. It was painted to commemorate Elizabeth's forgiveness and visit to Sir Henry Lee.Elizabeth used the ditchley portrait to portray that she is a wealthy,able and powerful leader.as she is stood on the map of England this shows that she owns the world and all in it.The portrait is in the style of propaganda.Some of the painting has been cut off from the edges (7.5 cm form each side). The writing on the right has also lots parts but this is what the remainder of it says:

Did Amelia and Eleanor go on a plane ride together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Certainly! a National heroine could not help but attract the attention of the First Family including the powerful Distaff side, Eleanor Roosevelt. A juvenile book has been done on this subject-Amelia and Eleanor go for a Ride-about a real fllight of a sightseing nature that (crazy I hear a propeller plane overhead in the background as I am typing this) The Aviatrix partook of with the First lady-Possibly one or Two Secret service men riding in the back passenger seats? Get the trenchcoat out of your head here! It was an innocent sightseeing hop. Amelia and Eleanor were certainly friends.

What acting roles did women play on stage during shakespeare 's time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most of Shakespeare's plays contain strong female characters (Julius Caesar is an exception), and in many plays the female lead is the most important character in the story. As You Like It and Cymbeline are important examples. Thus Shakespeare's plays have a lot to say about women, their relationship with men, and how they are misunderstood by men. Almost all of Shakespeare's women are virtuous, and are not infrequently wrongly accused by the men in their lives, sometimes with disastrous consequences. However, not all of Shakespeare's women are victims. A number of them control the men in their lives: Cleopatra controls Antony, Volumnia controls Coriolanus, Paulina controls Leontes. It is fair to say that the relationships between men and women in Shakespeare's plays are as diverse as they are in real life, and the women cover all possible extremes.

On stage in Shakespeare's day, these women were not represented by actresses, but by boy actors. Although the acting world was primarily a man's world, women were employed, primarily as costumers.

This might surprise you but George Washington was the first national leader to be called the president.

The closest examples from history would probably be a tie between Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan. John Hanson was the first President under the Articles of Federation.

Who was the first woman to fly her plane solo across the US?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Therese Peltier flew across Atlantic in July 1906 but she was a passenger. Baronees Elisa Reymond was first licensed pilot in 1910. Aug 1911, the first female American pilot Bessie Coleman achieved first license in USA. Anyway for info- the first woman to fly in Cosmon was Valentina Tereshkova of Soviet Union. Amelia Erhari tried to fly around the globe but was lost in July 2, 1937. She was the first woman to fly solo in 1928. Later in 1932 she was the second woman to fly solo across Atlantic and she was the first to fly from Hawai to Calfornia in 1935. What a great acheivement. Three Cheers for Amelia.
