What has changed for women, as regards opportunities and equality, from Opaline's time to Martha's? What has not changed?

I want to say everything has changed but while educational and professional opportunities have improved, we're still fighting for equality and independence in some ways. Still trying to outmaneuver men in power, deciding too many aspects of women's lives.

Many things have changed for women since Opaline's time, but women are certainly not completely on even footing with men and as far as their rights in general. One would have assumed back in Opaline's time that by the time the 21st century came around women would be full indoctrinated. Sadly, that is not the case. Just look at the continuing issue of income disparity today and the fact that certain inalienable rights are constantly being taken away from women.

A lot has changed and not changed. In some circumstances, women are given more opportunities today but we are no way near the level of male opportunities. At times I feel some of the newer opportunities are being taken away a little at a time. Fewer women are in higher positions (ex. CEO’s) and if they are the money earned is just not there. Health rights are being taken away with men pushing legislation that doesn’t affect them. Sometimes it feels as if our steps forward are dwindling.

Some things that have changed for women: we aren’t controlled by the males in our lives, we cannot be thrown in asylums on the say so of others, we can control our own money, and we cannot be forced into marriage. Some things that haven’t changed as much as they need to for women: our reproductive rights, equal pay, corporate leadership roles, representation in government.
