Introduction
The article by Casey Hayden and Mary king seeks to ameliorate the position of women in the society and the formation of movements as an avenue to fight for their rights. They draw an analogy on the treatment of women in the society and the treatment of Negroes. They argue that women find themselves in common law caste that forces them to operate in a hierarchical power structure which alienates them not only in public situations but also in personal situations.
Main Body
They identified the following as the factors that bedevil women in the society; caste system that is not institutionalized by law, which women can withdraw from any situation or even overthrow, and biological difference. They discussed it in the following three dimensions;
Having learned from the movement to think radically about the personal worth and abilities of people whose role in society had gone unchallenged before, a lot of women in the movement have begun trying to apply those lessons to their own relations with men. (Hayden and King 1).
Institutions; there have been questions about societal institutions that shape the perspectives of men and women, these has led to people experiencing with different forms of child bearing patterns.
Conclusion
Women and the problems of work; the unconventional caste system in the society clearly stipulates the roles that are assigned to men and women. This role definition range from who cleans leadership house, who occupies leadership position to who does secretarial work. There are also problems with the association among women especial the black and white ones (Hayden and King 1).
