THE POSITION OF WOMEN IN BRITAIN TODAY.
Almost a hundred years ago the position of women in Britain was not equal to men. Women spent almost all of their lives in taking care of children. They had no right to vote. They could not even own property in marriage. Women got the right to vote after the First World War. Other rights followed more slowly. Today women are still not really equal in all respects.
In some industries women make up around half the labor force. The food and clothing industries are examples. How ever women often get less money than men even when they do the same job. The pay difference can be as great as twenty percentage. In 1900 the only professional jobs open to women were in teaching. There were no women lawyers, engineers or architects. To day women seem to have the best professional changes in education as teachers and professors in medicine as doctors and in journalism.
