(sociological view)

r 19th Century: Wife as Servant to Husband; Wives were

completely obedient, wife beating was legal up to 1850, wives
had no power to make decisions in the family wives¶
possession & earning belonged to husbands, women were not
allowed to vote.
r Late 19th Century-early 20th Century: Husband-head, Wife-
helper; women began to work outside of the house & became
more independent, wives had more power to make decisions in
the family, women were allowed to vote (1920)
r 20th century: Husband-Senior Partner, Wife-Junior partner;

ore and more women worked outside of the house and their
incomes were very important to maintain the family standard of
living, wives¶ power was almost equal to their husbands.
r 1960²now: Husband-Wife Equal Partners; The Women
Liberation movement (1960s) legally ended all forms of sexual
discriminations, husbands and wives equally share duties to
provide family needs and to deal with household works and
child rising.
