Changing Roles, Changing Rules
Women have transformed the American workforce, but has life at home changed just as much? We look at the shift from traditional family roles to two-parent, full-time working families, and why women still report taking on more parenting and household responsibilities. Then, we examine changing attitudes toward the military draft, from the end of the draft in 1973 to today's debate over automatic Selective Service registration and whether women should be subject to the same requirements as men. And, our fun fact goes back to 1949, when Gallup asked Americans a very practical question: How do you keep cool?
