Good evening Chairman, council, mothers and daughters.
I have been invited here to speak to you about Australian women and their changing roles since World War II. After World War II the roles of Australian women in society have changed greatly from being the domestics housewife who were pretty, well kept and great managers for their time. In most cases women often had no opinions,and were very dependant on their husbands. The change has been to that of a wife who can manage their time by having a job, doing the housework and taking care of their children.
After the war they were many reasons why women wanted or need to go out and work. One of the very common reasons were husbands not returning from war
