Women's position in the social, economic and political spheres of the nation, in western states in particular, but not exclusively, has undergone profound transformations since the conclusion of the 19th century.
Women have always played a role in the life of the state, wether in public or private life, in the arts and sciences. Women have often functioned as powerful agents "behind the scenes" influencing profoundly historical developments, often frustratingly so- for the historian- considering the opaqueness of their influence, even when significant.
In the last 100 years women have taken a more active role in society, and have generally met with encouragement by the state for doing so, wether in the form of subsidies for female leaders in industry and science, or in broader terms such as the winning of the franchise by female political activists. Women are now widely accepted, for example, as leaders in the political, economic and military classes, wether holding cabinet office, leading large multinational corporations, or commanding warships during fleet deployments.
How do you think the role of women in society has changed in the last century, and what changes do you foresee in the future?

The concepts "WAR" and "PROGRESS" are now obsolete.
