"I believe that it is as much a right and duty for women to do something with their lives as for men and we are not going to be satisfied with such frivolous parts as you give us." - Louisa May Alcott

For years women’s role in society has always been limited to the kitchen. Women were always expected to stay at home and keep the family intact. Men, on the other hand have been tasked with the responsibility of providing for the family therefore,  making the corporate world a male dominated area.  As a result, this pattern became the rule of society.

However, as time went on women had to provide for the family for instance, due to loss of husband to death or divorce. Other times the men were at war. Women had to exit the kitchen and enter the corporate world to survive. This brought about some change in the gender roles. Women had to learn to balance their careers,  raising their children and marriage. This needed proper time management technique.

The Women in World History Curriculum is a website that takes on how women are restricted by society and tradition. Most of the quotes illuminate the harshest attitudes about women, which might not have applied to women in every class,  and which might simply have been ignored. They nonetheless help explain the limited contributions of women in some areas and the types of attitudes women have had to overcome.

Molly Nkosi, a female Bcom Law student at the Midrand Graduate Institute stated that women's role should not be limited to the kitchen because if all women are stuck in the kitchen then, there will be low levels of diversity in the corporate world.The more diverse ideas are contributed the higher the productivity. Molly concluded by saying that women are capable of withstanding emotional stress and pressure that the corporate world presents.  

Raesetsa Hopane, a male Client Technical Specialist at IBM also stated that women should not be limited to the kitchen as they have other capabilities such as in areas of Science and Art which should be explored. 

Sbusiso, a security guard at the Midrand Graduate Institute stated that he thinks women should not be limited to the kitchen. However, there must be a clear distinction between a man and a woman at home reason being that women tend to be dominant when given power. 
 

In my opinion, women should not be limited to the kitchen . There are so many opportunities out there and everyone both woman and man should have the chance to explore these opportunities and not limited. This will bring progress and development  in the world. Women have the ability to balance their work, be the perfect moms,  cook delicious food and be loving wives.
