женщины, которые волнуют меня меньше всего

  1. К. Миддлтон (и вернется ли она к принцу Вильяму)
  2. Х. Клинтон (и станет ли она президентом США)
  3. Ю. Тимошенко (и станет ли она премьер-министром Украины после внеочередных парламентских выборов)
  4. Б. Спирс (и избавится ли она от целлюлита)
  5. А. Джоли (и кого она усыновит в следующий раз)

The changing role of women

·         Do women have equal rights and has this always been the case?

Till 1857 – no right for divorce for women

Till 1882 – all women’ earnings belonged to her husband

1st World War – greater variety of work for women

1918 – women over 30 given the right to vote & stand for election for Parliament

1928voting rights at the same age as men (21)

Discrimination at workplace

Difficulties for entering university

1960s – 1970s: laws for right to equal pay, prohibiting employers from discriminating against women because of their sex

·         Are there as many women in education as men?

§         Girls leave school with better qualifications than boys

§         More women that men at university

·         Are there as many women in work as men?

45% of the workforce (51% of the population)

·         Do women get the same pay as men?

§         Women don’t have the same access as men to promotion & better-paid jobs

§         The average hourly rate of pay 20% lower

·         Do women with children work?

¾  (three-quarters) of women with children of school age are in paid work
