问题     American women experience a great variety of lifestyles. A "typical" American woman may be single. She may also be divorced or married. She may be a homemaker, a doctor, or a factory worker. It is very difficult to generalize about American women. However, one thing that many American women have in common is their attitude about themselves and their role in American life.
    Historically, American Women have always been very independent. The first colonists to come to New England were of ten young couples who had left behind their extend ed family (i. e. their parents, sisters, cousins, etc. ). The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with their husbands. This had two important effects. First of all, this as yet uncivilized environment demanded that every person share in developing it and in survival Women worked alongside their husbands and children to establish themselves in this new land Second, because they were in a new land without the established influence of older members of society, women felt free to step into nontraditional roles.
    This role of women was reinforced in later years as Americans moved west, again leaving family behind and encountering a hostile environment. Even later, in the East, as new immigrants arrived, the women often found jobs more easily than men. Women be came the supporters of the family.
    Within the established lifestyle of industrialized twentieth century America, the strong role of women was not as dramatic as in the early days of the country. Some women were active outside the homed others were not. However, when American men went to war in the 1940s, women stepped into the men’s jobs as factory and business worker. After the war, some women stayed in these positions, and others left their jobs with a new sense of their own capabilities.
