Since Cooper's essay in 1892, there have been many changes in attitudes toward women. Write a persuasive essay of at least 250 words, arguing that men have (or have not) "outgrown that old contemporary of chivalry."

At the time Anna Cooper wrote that essay, women were not encouraged to pursue a university career, just to be good mothers and housewives. Even at that time, Anna was a feminist, always struggling and voicing for those women who couldn't have equal opportunities.

Now, more than a century later, there are still men that prefer wives to be at home, but they are scarce. Women study at university, and they have the ability to perform tasks as equally as men do. In the late 1960s, the Women's Liberation movement started questioning patriarchy, social and sexual hierarchies and the dynamic of women in an organised society. The cost of living is also higher, so most of the times, two incomes are needed for a family. Behind is the time when women stay at home, caring for the kids and having the food ready for the husband. Nowadays, chores and responsibilites are shared equally.
