What is a Woman's Role in Society?

During the early centuries up to the Victorian Era a woman's place was not in a workplace, or recieving and education, but instead it was at home caring for the household and family.  A woman would be ridiculed, maybe even disowned by her family, for leaving society's role.  Men saw women as inferior, weak, unable to handle the stresses of life.  But I believe that this is far from the truth, because women ran the household, cared for the children, made sure there was food on the table, and they also made sure that their family's reputation would not be scarred.  The female gender, I believe, is the strongest gender because they make sure everything appears perfect even when it's not, but they do not complain about it.

I am not saying that men are to be considered inferior, it's just that men and women each have different strengths and weaknesses.  In A Doll's House, Nora sees that there is trouble in how she is portrayed in both society and in her marriage.  She is seen as a 'stupid' woman who should not involve herself in men's business.  But she starts to see that she was seen as a 'doll' or a person who will bend to society by both her father, and her husband.  She realizes that this is not what she wants and she is willing to leave her husband, and children to find out who she really is.  Nora does not want to be the stereotypical housewife in the upper-middle class, but seen as a thoughtful human being.

I believe that it is amazing to hear and find out that some men in the United States and in different parts of the world still believe that a woman's place is at home.  More and more women are controlling business', companies, more are recieving higher levels of education besides just a Bachelor's Degree.  Women are becoming powerful, but not powerful enough to overpower the amount of men also in those high positions.  I believe that in the future women will control most of the government, businesses, companies, and making executive decisions.  Women will no longer be thought of as inferior to the male gender.
