Hombres y mujeres en la sociedad actual: Men
and Women throughout History
El título no deja de ser algo
engañoso ya que la información
que aquí vamos a daros gira,
fundamentalmente, alrededor
de la vida e inquietudes de
mujeres que han destacado por
su faceta pública en países de
habla inglesa o de otras que
hacen su aportación de manera
anónima pero que sin su fuerza
y su esfuerzo los avances y
conquistas por la igualdad
desaparecerían.
En todas las épocas, han
surgido figuras que han
intentado romper con esa idea
de que nacer mujer es nacer
con menos oportunidades.
Hemos elegido a dos mujeres
que ya han hecho Historia y
que, en nuestra opinión, deben
ser ejemplos para encontrar el
auténtico camino hacia la
igualdad.
Las mujeres que hemos elegido
son: Mary Robinson y
Emmeline PankhurstY aunque
centremos nuestro estudio en
la vida y significación de Mary
y Emmeline no debemos
olvidar que tanto una como
otra contaron con la
colaboración de su familia,
empezando por sus padres y
hermanos y siguiendo con sus
maridos.

1. Mary Robinson y Emmeline Pankhurst
Mary Robinson
Mary was born in 1944 in Ballina (Ireland) . Her father was a doctor
and so was her mother. She was the only girl in a family of five.
She attended school in Dublin and then she studied law at Trinity
College in the same city. She went to Harvard where she earned a
Masters in Law. In 1969 she became the youngest professor of law at
Trinity College.
She married Nicholas Robinson, a Dublin solicitor, and they had
three children. Her marriage at first met familial disapproval
because her husband was a Protestant.
Some years later she became a famous lawyer and member of the
Irish Senate (1969-1989). She won the 1990 presidential election as
an Independent candidate nominated by the Irish Labour Party.
Robinson has been Honorary President of Oxfam International since
2002, she is the president of the International Institute for
Environment and Development (IIED) and is also a founding member
and Chair of the Council of Women World Leaders. Robinson's newest
project is the Ethical Globalization Initiative, which promotes fair
trade and development, more humane migration policies and better
responses to HIV/AIDS in Africa. The organization also promotes
women's leadership and supports capacity building and good
governance in developing countries.
In 2004, she received an Award from Amnesty International for her
work in promoting human rights and in 2006 she was awarded the
prize “Principe de Asturias” of Social Sciences.

2.1. Mujeres para la Historia II
Ahora vamos a leer la carta de una madre que quiere volver al mercado laboral y alguna de lasrespuestas que recibe a su pregunta final.
Sharing housework
Letter sent to a magazine by Maria Smith on 28th March 2002
Hello, I'm a mother of three young children who has recently returned to study
in order to be prepared to go "back to work"as soon as I find a suitable job.
I am an educator in the area of gender equity and I'm studying issues that
confront women returning to work. The biggest of these, and for all mothers,
seems to be how to get Dad to take on a fair load of housework.
My husband is great at playing with the kids or taking them to the park, or the
cinema or even taking them to bed and telling stories before they fall asleep! but
I'm feeling really frustrated about convincing him that he needs to think of other
details, those that make housework boring and repetitive.
I know there's an enormous quantity of literature about finding the work home
balance but I can't find much which takes up that issue in a practical,
constructive, educational manner. So... Can you, please, give me ideas about
how can one teach partners to share domestic responsibilities - like cleaning the
toilet?
Thanks for your responses
And here are some of the answers she has received. Some are serious but others are... just jokes!

Trabajarás básicamente la comprensión y expresión escritas y orales y tendrás que aprender un buennúmero de palabras nuevas.
Es, pues, este un tema de auténtico uso de la lengua como vehículo de comunicación.

Surprise! Men do as much work as women do!
Everyone knows that women work more than men. In fact, most of them combinework at the home and at the office. But according to a recent study, this is just a myth,because it's just not true that women carry a heavier load.
Three economists, Michael Burda of Humboldt University in Berlin, Daniel Hamermeshof the University of Texas, and Philippe Weil of the Free University of Brussels prepareda questionnaire that was passed to people in 25 countries all over the world. Some ofthe countries are rich, like the United States and Germany, some are poor, like Beninand Madagascar, and some are in the middle, like Hungary, Mexico, and Slovenia. Thequestions were about how people spent the hours of their day.
In most rich countries men spend more time on market work –work outside the housewith a salary- than women and women spend more time doing housework and childcarethan men; but if we add the hours that men and women spend doing marketwork andhousework we will get very similar results.
While men and women spend about the same time working in rich countries, womendo work more than men in poor countries. And the gap widens as countries get poorer.
