From the very beginning, the social position of women was worse than the social position of men. For most of history, misogyny prevailed and women were at the bottom of the social ladder. Female children were not desirable, and their biggest goal was marriage and motherhood. Their life took place in the house and going out was possible only to go to church or to places that were necessary to do household chores. The education of women was focused on teaching them how to be obedient and a good wife and mother. In the 19th century, the fight for women's rights and gender equality begins. Simone de Beauvoir influenced feminism with her work The Second Sex (1948). The protest due to low wages on March 8, 1857, resulted in the declaration of International Women's Day. Women have fought for their rights, and the role of a working woman is now associated with the role of a mother and wife. Women are burdened with business and household responsibilities, and because of their families, they are often prevented from advancing at work. Because of this, many women delay childbearing in order to ensure financial security. Discrimination against women is present on the labor market, which can be seen in employment when the employer asks the woman personal questions about marriage and children, in the differences in salaries and the smaller number of women in high positions.
