The following are historical events that affected the roles of women in society. Place each role in the order in which it occurred, with the earliest event on the top.

The Equal Pay Act (EPA) mandated that men and women in the same job must be paid equally.

Women were encouraged to work in factories and offices to take the place of men at war.

The percentage of women in the workforce steadily increased until about half of women worked at least part-time.

Many women returned to the home as housewives, although some worked part-time.

Answer 1

The order in which these events occurred show their importance in the women's movement and the development of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Women were encouraged to work in factories and offices to take the place of men at war.

This was during the world war as there were few men to work in the states.

• Many women returned to the home as housewives, although some worked part-time.

This was after the war as there was again a cultural shift towards traditional family.

• The percentage of women in the workforce steadily increased until about half of women worked at least part-time.

By the time the 60s came along the women were working more and more outside the house.

• The Equal Pay Act (EPA) mandated that men and women in the same job must be paid equally.

This was the final straw after a long winded movement to achieve this.
