Slow Strides witnessed during the 1950s to the Present
Women’s employment history took a turnover from the First World War onwards. Women replaced the enlisted men and sharp productivity was also witnessed. Working in the dynamics to move forward, women are encouraged and legitimate when it comes to professionalism. Women took a turn from only working in the kitchen and managing the house to managing the decisions at the making of any new world.
From the time of the stock market crash of 1929 to impeding laws to the Great Depression in the 1930s till the end of the war- women choose to stay to employment rather than limiting themselves to the household chores.
Participation in the war front did not stop women from letting go of their household responsibilities, both the grounds are taken care of with expertise. That’s the power! The significant participation of women has triggered changes in social, cultural, and economic conditions from the mid-90s.
Changes are slowly taking over. With time the typical monolithic thought process on gender biases has shifted towards an equal work culture. A change in attitude, legislation, social, economic, and political structures have reflected how strongly women are ruling at a professional and personal front.

Many women have personally made their way to become entrepreneurs in their preferred professions. Social scientists have termed it as a ‘calling of life’. From the domain limited to cooking as their only department to mastering the top executive positions, women have come a long way.
