Women's work

          For a long time women have been prevented from maintaining their rights in education and work. Their parents and even their husbands thought that woman's main task is to do the household tasks and raise the children. Later came "kasem amin" asking for the women's right to learn. Then there were many women's liberation movements for maintaining their rights in society and working was one of these rights. Although many years have passed, there are still different considerations between supporting and refusing women's work.

        

          Some people support the idea that women's work is important for many reasons.One of them is increasing the family's income as woman's salary, besides her husband's, can grantee a better life for their children. The working woman shares in developing the society by her work as a teacher, a doctor, or an engineer, etc. Woman also can acquire self-sufficiency and self-confidence as she depends on herself to solve any problem she faces.

          Other people refuse the idea of women's work considering that working is only for men. One reason for refusing women's work is neglecting her household tasks, husband and children as being busy at work. Another reason is that some employers refuse to employ women as they have fewer abilities than men in working. Also the working woman is always tired because of taking care of both her family and work. So, by the end of the day she becomes very tired to have some time for her own to rest or do whatever she wants.

          I believe that everything in our life has its advantages and disadvantages. So, I agree with women's work apart from its disadvantages. There are many women who have achieved a great success in their work although they had families to take care of. One of them was "dr/ Aisha Abdel Rahman" who succeeded to fight for her father's refusal of her education and became a great writer and lecturer.
