What Women Once Were

Volkswagen add (1960's)
The picture above is a real advertisement put out by Volkswagen in the 1960's, the advertisement talks about how women are bad driver and who are more likely to crash the new car when they are out doing errands then a man and hoe it is not the en of the world. 

For years women have been making at break throughs worldwide and have been inventing and discovering things that men have not yet found. Although today women are aloud to vote, work outside of the home and even run for president today; woman did not always have it so good. In previous generations women's jobs were to get married have kids and take care of the home while the husband was off at work.  For years women were seen as the useless partner in the relationship, the one who is not bringing home a pay check and the one who does not have to go to work all day like the men do. When in reality it was true women were not bringing home the checks or having to travel to work like the men were. Women were doing what some would call as the hardest job in the world which is being a mom.The women were making all the doctors appointments, packing the kids lunches, waking up to screaming babies at two o' clock in the morning, making every meal for everyone in the family and making sure the house it sparkling clean at all times. I know that they are not exactly getting payed for what they do but to me making appointments, packing lunches, waking up to babies and making every meals work to me. Why is it that for years women were limited on what they could do  and when they could do it if for years they have been doing things men would't do?
