Australia’s Glass Ceiling
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing the course of change from women’s perspective over the years. It appears that advances for women in general are preceded with intense social change. It was not until the 1970s that women made noticeable and lasting advances in Australia, after the “women’s movement” had been operational for some time. Today, it is Generation X that dictates the need for balance in work and home life. As men seek to achieve more of the balance that has been required of women in the past, likely there will be fewer gender-based differences apparent as well. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
