That isn't the way it is any more with women.
Women are mothers as well as workers in the economies of countries all over the world.
The laws and the cultures developed under entirely different conditions when women didn't work outside and were almost considered property of males. And that's a process that's very, very hard. Also, it's interesting, although there's been a fairly strong women's movement since the 1920s, and the renaissance of that movement in the 1970s, women don't want to be mainstreamed into a polluted stream. We want to change the nature of the stream, to use a metaphor, we want to make it clean and flowing for everyone. So some progress has been made in that period, but it has not been sufficient to uproot some of the cultures and the traditions and the practices that people are accustomed to.
