The impact of feminism
● Mcrobbie(1994)
- Feminism→social movement fighting for equal rights for women in all areas
of life
- Fighting the patriarchal system
- Study of girls' magazines and how they have changed
- 1970’s→emphasis on the importance of marriage(not being ‘left on the shelf’)
- Recent years→positive images of strong, independent women
- May provide positive role models for girls(change in ambitions and educational
achievements
Changes in the family(structure)
- A major change in families since the 1970s:
1. Increase in divorce rate
2. Increase in cohabitation(decrease in the number of marriages)
3. Increase in the number of lone-parent families(usually headed by
women→90% of single parents are women)
4. Smaller family sizes
- These can affect girls' attitudes to learning(e.g women, as the head of the
household→women takes on the breadwinner role→girls, and have a role
model(independent woman))
- Women need well-paid jobs and good qualifications to reach this independence
- Rise in divorce rates→unwise to rely on a husband to be the
provider/breadwinner
