Working women in the past in a traditional family the men was responsible for all the financial matters and expenses, and the women for the raising of the children and all the housework. But society has changed and along with it the family structure on many occasions today the women help their husbands with the financial burden by working, but helping out is not the only reason today's women work. Today women are more independent and educated than they were in the past and they share equal rights and responsibilities as men.
