Introduction
A century ago, most women in the United States didn’t have careers outside of their homes. They got married, raised children and managed households with little formal education and little to no support from their husbands. Their work was done within the home. Today, women are much more likely to have careers outside the home than they were a century ago. This change has greatly affected everyone’s lives in different ways: firstly it changed how families are structured today; secondly because women are more likely to have jobs outside of their homes today than they were a century ago; thirdly because these changes put pressure on them (women) but not males who tend toward more traditional roles while working at least part-time; fourthly this means that women will usually make more money if they have jobs outside of their homes which is good but also bad because they will have far less free time than they would’ve had if they didn’t have jobs outside off theirs.”

A century ago, most women in the United States didn’t have careers outside the home. They got married and raised children, with little formal education or support from their husbands. Their work was done within the home — cleaning house, cooking meals, doing laundry and shopping for food — while they were expected to keep up a good appearance at all times because of how much their husbands depended on them for domestic upkeep.
In many cases today’s working mothers are still expected to do this same sort of thing without any help from anyone else (including their husbands), but now there’s more flexibility about how far along each person goes in their career path before starting a family life or returning back into fulltime motherhood after having children first.
Today, women are much more likely to have careers outside the home. This change has greatly affected everyone’s lives in different ways.

On balance, I think the changes are good for women who want high-paying jobs but bad for people who don’t want to make much money or those who want lots of free time.
First, it changed how families are structured today. As women began working outside the home and having higher-paying jobs than their husbands, they began having fewer children so that they could spend more time at work. As a result, families became smaller than they were a century ago.

Second, it changed how people make money by changing their business practices. In the past 20 years or so, companies have been moving away from using physical space as a way to store products and services (which requires lots of space) toward using virtual spaces—such as the cloud or software-as-a-service (SaaS)—which don’t require any physical assets at all! This means that companies can ship goods directly from one place to another instead of storing them up on shelves somewhere for months before being shipped out again; therefore reducing overhead costs significantly compared with traditional warehousing methods like storage lockers where everything has its own shelf in order not only maintain hygiene standards but also avoids theft by employees who may want something else instead of what was originally intended as part of their job description..
Second, because women are more likely to have jobs outside the home today than they were a century ago, it puts pressure on them to get the same amount of housework done per day as their mothers did a century ago. It means that she has less free time to herself. This change in family life can be seen as positive because women will usually make more money if they have jobs outside of the home; it can also be seen as negative because they will have far less free time than they would’ve had if they didn’t have jobs outside of the home.

The change from a century ago is good for women who want high-paying jobs but is bad for people who don’t want to make much money or those who want lots of free time.
Women have more freedom to choose their careers and less pressure from family members to get married and have children early. They are also less likely to be housewives, which means they can work during the day and spend time with their families at night.
