Woman's role in society in the 1980s.

Abstract

American women will face opportunities, challenges, and sizeable hurdles throughout the decade of the 1980s. Political, economic, and international forces will weigh heavily on women in the United States as they attempt to conquer key positions. Women are capable of shaping and transforming society and of helping people live together in relative peace and harmony. But a positive attitude with goal‐directed behavior is essential. Human relatedness, cultural values, and ethical concerns for all cultures in our world must be given thoughtful consideration. Also, women must help men to deal with women's changing role. This overview deals with some of the problems women will face and key areas for accomplishing future goals.
