Abstract

The lives and roles of women have changed monumentally since the 1300s. Today, women in the West and Southeast Asia enjoy benefits, like legal rights and educational opportunities which were not available to the women before them. This paper will analyze the many changes in the lives and roles of women in the West and Southeast Asia dating from 1300 to the present. Prior to Industrialization in the 1300s to 1600s, few Western women worked outside the home. Family farms and cottages kept women busy without entering public life. Many women married as teenagers and did not travel far from their country homes. Society determined that a woman's place was in the home as a wife and mother taking care of the home and children. The onslaught of Industrialization's machinery, factories, and urbanization in the 1700s contributed to the questioning of a woman's place in Western society.
