Women have gone through numerous societal transitions over the past decades, challenging the preceding traditional standards of American culture. The image of women has taken a great turn, where women have become more independent and autonomous by fighting the remnants of the older societal values. Women traditionally were given the assumed role of being a housewife; this was the expectation for all American women years ago. The attitude of men towards women has also taken a drastic movement where men are now regarding a woman as more of an individual person. The automobile and the road have traditionally been equated as being the man’s domain. Women were dominated by men in all facets of living in the past. Gradually the women persistently fought their way into the workforce and eventually broke free of their husband’s grasp.
