Example of an Introduction
Both men and womens gender roles in Canada have
drastically changed during the past one hundred years.
These changes have occurred both within the private
and public spheres based on many different
occurrences in society. The purpose of this paper is to
examine how the Canadian womens movement and
feminism have lead to these changes in society for both
women and men. This paper will examine the historical
gender roles women and men once held in society and
how and why these changes have occurred over time.
Contemporarily I will also examine what Canadian
feminist institutions are doing to continue to develop
policy initiatives to make gender a key issue that is
examined within Canadian society.
