Moreover, when we consider the change in societal norms especially with regard to girls, societal norms a century ago, in the main, would hardly allow them to perform the same roles as their male counterparts. Managing a household was considered an appropriate position for women;therefore,girls were mostly confined to the domestic sphere. However,female movements around the globe,in more modern times, have helped alleviate the plight of girls, so that today's female teenagers can freely explore the same opportunities, and careers, as young men. Therefore,we can observe increased gender equality among teenagers today, than it was a hundred years ago.
