Feminsim Femininity -- An Evolution I have heard it said so many times and by so many women “ I wish I were a man”. “Men have it easy”.This statement stems from the fear and anger that comes from so many years of submission and oppression. A statement that comes from the pressure to meet standards and bodily perfections, but the woman of today, as she grows with time is proud to say that she is a woman or rather a women of substance. Women have come a long way and freed themselves from gender related stereotypes and redefined femininity. Since the mid -twenties the role of women has changed dramatically from politics to business, to academics and sport. Women have gained prominence that would have been unimaginable to earlier generations, like that of the fifties where women lived in the shadow of men accomplishments and were powerless to change their situations. ” Three decades ago a typical family was depicted as a man and woman who married each other, had beautiful children.and women proudly wrote occupation “housewives” on forms . Femininity was the epitome of the fifties and was constructed to the adaption of male power.
