I believe that women have made a great deal of change throughout the years.  Women are steadily climbing the ladder in the work field and are taking over every few years.  Females also are about to take over the world if they already aren’t secretly, behind closed doors.   This article shows women have made a great change for the better in the work area but, also the education field.  “Wife who is the sole breadwinner in a record twenty – three percent of families, in 1976, the number was six percent”.  Even though men have been looked upon on a higher level than women throughout the years women have been on steady rise to get on that same level.  “USA TODAY analysis of census bureau data reveals a revolution in the traditional roles of men and women that extends from college campus to the workplace…”  This piece in the passage proves my thesis to be exactly correct.  A woman being soldier and men staying at home is becoming a natural thing in today’s society, from the minds of those in those in the 1950’s this would be shocking.  My paragraph can be proven word for word almost in paragraph three, so I think the thesis statement I have come out with is very accurate.  “Just as telling, wives out earn their husbands twenty-eight percent of the time”.  This is more to show you that women are actually climbing the ladder of today’s work area or career statuses.  “40 year old Kim Sprint… got pregnant during her freshmen year at Harvard… her hard working mother a military veteran… insisted she not drop out of college”.  Let’s break this down piece by piece, first Kim is forty now so when she was younger women were still not looked upon as being able to do a lot of things like be a freshmen at Harvard with a baby.  This leads to her mom who is hard working military vet. This was nearly impossible to come by back in those days. Why am I stating all these facts?  Because women have always been on the level of men since forever they just were not able to showcase their talents because the ways of males who need to be in control of thing like households and army missions. How were women ever on the level of men back in the day you might ask? Kim and her mother are prime examples, educational field; Kim went to one of the top Ivy League schools in the nation.  Work area; her mom was a veteran in the military which a lot of men can’t become because they’re not cut out; also Kim is a sales manager at one of the top shipping companies in the world.  Even though this a passage about male reversal I think it shouldn’t be question who’s on what level in society, because most of the teachers I see are women most friends I have only have a mom, and without a woman no one human on the earth would exist. So I don’t think the title should be “An American Role Reversal: Women the new Breadwinners” but “An Worldwide Phenomenon: Women and the things they’ve being doing”
