Challenges For Women In America

The reading — a chapter from a book written by historian Stephanie Coontz — highlights the restrictions placed on women following World War II that drove many to launch a Women’s Movement. For this reflection, discuss at least three of these restrictions (keeping in mind that not all states were alike), explaining the actual restrictions and how (whenever applicable) they limited a woman’s ability to find work, remain unmarried (or get divorced), or live a life of her choosing. Conclude your reflection by analyzing whether these three restrictions remain in some form in the United States. (reading is a pdf attached to upload files)
