For thousands years gender roles were determined worldwide by an economic context which required men to work and women to attend mostly to domestic tasks. This kind of deal have been working quite happily for both side.
In the last 2 centuries things have been changing constantly on the economic level with women taking on several identical responsibilities as men. Every change is met with resistance. So it’ s also a case for women who often complain about having 2 jobs (one outside and one inside home) or quit their carrer in order to take care of their family, and so on. Hence the birth of many social movements around a new women identity based on a new shared collective experience, the one inside a urban background made of factories, retails, schools and offices.
