Why can women work today?

Women always worked, from gatherine roots in the Stone Age, to harvesting, to working on markets, as entertainers, as healers, in businesses or labor, as bakers, weavers etc.

It was only very recent that middle-and upper class women only took care of the household.

If they didn't, there would be nobody to help make the machinery and supplies for on the homefront, and across seas. Women started woking in factories to support their families and their country. It was the patriotic thing to do.
