Female Perspective In workplace
Female Perspective
Women’s profound success in the workforce can be largely attributed to changing social norms. Women are more widely accepted into the workforce now as compared to just 60 years ago, a time when women were ridiculed for wanting a career.
“The ’60s were hard on women,” stated former corporate employee Gwendolyn Williams on an internet forum about womens rights in the 1960s.. “A highly educated woman made peanut change compared to men. We could usually not purchase a home unless we were married. I think many employers assumed we would get a job, find a husband, and the corporate knowledge would evaporate.”
