A role of women in a contemporary society

A role of women in a contemporary society.
Since the ancient time women were thought to be the weaker sex. This name was probably given by men, who decided that the nature made males and females opposite in everything, so if they are the stronger sex, there must be somebody who needs their protection. Indeed, women are weaker than men in body strength as well as in mental stability. But men used it as an excuse to keep women far from the prior positions in the world, in the society and even in the house for many years. Nowadays there’s a recession in the values and meanings of the past centuries, a reversal of roles between men and women. But did it change the position of a woman in a society?
