ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. Priorities began to take shape in the middle of the twentieth century that had never before been addressed. Women were prepared to put all aspects of their lives on hold as a means by which to fulfill their professional desires; however, this was not to bode well with the male gender, who was confused at the intensity with which women were forging ahead in the workplace. Along with this newfound freedom came an unexpected consequence: higher divorce rates. Because women were finding themselves capable of being self-sufficient, there came a new outlook upon relationships and the roles each gender played; as women became more independent, they were less inclined to rely upon their husbands for security. This, according to Ruth Rosen's "The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America," is what set the stage for the rebirth of feminism and the emergence of the women's movement.
