They were not allowed to have freedom both in terms of expressions or choosing their career. Clara Schuman, being a lucky woman chose her own profile and wrote a golden chapter in the history of Music. Women were not adequately recognized and their talent was suppressed upon. It was the case both internally i.e. within the family and externally i.e. socially. If any women wanted to excel in their talent they had to overcome loads of obstacles and struggles to finally achieve their aim. However it was pretty easy path for men to achieve the same. A novice boy was preferred and given more opportunities rather than an intelligent girl with rare talents. Women are considered as the driving force behind the world, however this ill treatment of women was not soon going to end in the future.

    For as far back as written history goes, people have been divided by certain roles. Men were considered stronger, therefore they were the hunters and protectors. Women were considered more gentler, making them the home keepers and child rearers. These roles soon morphed into men becoming the dominate role and thought of as superior while women continued to sink down the societal ladder and became nothing more than an object, mere property to their male counterparts. These roles slowly adhered themselves in people and was supported by society as a whole.…

    The depiction of women in the novel “Of Mice and Men”, is far from being flattering. Steinbeck has, in this novel, only one female character, Curley 's wife, and as we can see, she didn 't even has a first name. The other women in the novel are referred as prostitutes, with the exception of Lennie 's aunt Clara, who seems to be a housewife. These images could be interpreted as misogynist in our time, but putting those images in the context of the 30 's in the United States, we can see the will of the author trying to point out the problems in the society he is living and his effort for changing it. The women of "Of Mice and Men" are not the American women of the 30 's, on the contrary, is the image that the society have about females.…
