(4)There have been great changes in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans life spent in

A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in he

18、r early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work

19、until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器) and convenience foods.This important change in womens way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position.

21、ay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work.
