In early times women were considered to be unuseful at any work which wasn't housework. So they began working in jobs that were likely to be only for men such as women doctors, lawyers, preachers, teachers, writers, and singers. But they seemed to had a limit: house occupations and family.
In the 90s and 20th century this limits were exceeded. The perfect example was the medical career, which provided women the oportunity to study something that men could also do. Eventhough discrimitation was also seen in schools where membership was only for men.(American Medical Association). Another examples is the teaching profession, which allowed woman work at the same level as a man.
Majority of women worked in service jobs such as secretaries, nurses, waitress, etc.
But discrimitacion continued, and after that, women worked on companies, but didn't had the right to get involved on the decisions.
And even worst, people still believed that married woman shouldn't be payed or hired.
But thank's God, there are now federal laws which order employers to pay women although they're pregnant.
