La mujer y el trabajo: evolución histórico jurídica

The figure of women at work has always been less present than that of men, since it has been considered the weaker sex. Throughout history, progress has been made in this matter, since in past times women limited themselves to carrying out housework and taking care of their children. Traditionally, it was the man who was responsible for supporting the family, and therefore it was unthinkable that the woman enter the world of work, since her job was that. It is amazing that despite the constant struggle for centuries ago, today women continue to fight for the rights, which are enshrined in our supreme norm, the Spanish Constitution. Well, formal equality between women and men has been achieved, but despite this, in practice there are still obvious situations of inequality between the sexes. Therefore, women continue in constant struggle to ensure that the rights regulated in the Constitution, and in the laws, have been effective. There are many achievements so far, but there are still many barriers that prevent the full advancement of women in many sectors, but more specifically in the workplace or in politics.La figura de la mujer en el trabajo, siempre ha estado menos presente que la del hombre, pues se ha considerado el sexo débil. A lo largo de la historia se ha conseguido avanzar en este asunto, en épocas pasadas la mujer se limitaba a realizar las laborales del hogar y ocuparse del cuidado de sus hijos. Tradicionalmente, era el hombre quien se encargaba de sustentar a la familia, y por tanto, era impensable que la mujer entrara en el mundo laboral, puesto que su labor era aquella. Resulta asombroso que, a pesar de la constante lucha desde siglos atrás, en la actualidad, la mujer siga luchando por los derechos que se encuentran consagrados en nuestra norma suprema, la Constitución española. Son muchos los logros alcanzados hasta el momento, pero siguen existiendo muchas barreras que impiden el avance completo de la mujer en muchos sectores, pero más concretamente en el ámbito laboral o en la política
