Feminism has not brought women into positive direction . Feminism has played a big part in the break up and breakdown of the nuclear family. Education has been positive for some individuals, however for the majority women it had created a negative interpretation to the female gender. Women need to be educated the same way men are. It had been proven that women in society today haven't necessarily for got about feminism and what it stood for, but treat it as a "fashion thing". It is not the experience that has changed, or the people think the problem is solved, but the idea of inequality has became "old fashion".

Women started realizing and revealing those rights in the workplace and in society. As time passed , men and women became educated. Changes for equal opportunities became a bit more hopeful. Even though change was different in the 40's and the 50's ,change did occur. Women pushed for closer equality in jobs and pay.
