A Woman at Home

In Japan, most people still feel that a woman’s right place is in the home/ and most women willingly accept their traditional role as wives, /leaving the business of making living to their husbands. /For those who do not want a career of their own, opportunities are limited. / And working women usually have to settle for lower wages and less responsible positions. /

In America, on the other hand, most women, including wives and mothers, work most of their lives. /But until recently, few have had real careers. /As in Japan, most fields are dominated by men/ and opportunities for women have been restricted, /salaries low, chances for promotion rare. /American women work mainly because they have to. / In these days of inflation and expensive living, / only one income per family is simply not enough. So American women actually have two jobs: / one outside the home, and the other round-the-clock job such as wife, cook and nurse.
