Topic: Have attitudes toward working women changed? (200～240words）
トピック：働く女性に対する考え方は変わったか？
というものです。
とりあえず、自分はこんな感じで書きました。
As we know, there has been an argument about attitudes toward working women and it is a controversial topic. However, I think attitudes towards women changing steadily in the
perspective of education, working styles, and law. (36)
Nowadays, many young women go on to further education. This is different from the past
when they are expected to get married and have their children. In the past, many parents thought further education to women was a waste of time
and money, but now the fact that parents are willing to pay money for daughter's education
shows that expectations have changed. (62)
Secondly, working styles of women have changed dramatically these days. In the past, if women have their children, many of them were forced to quit the job. However, recently, many employers not only offer better maternity conditions but also
becoming flexible in terms of working hours for mothers.(48)
There are also changes in the law. The law now firmly recognizes that women have a equality at work. This is apparently different from the past when women regularly had to deal with not only discrimination but also many harassments such as sexual harassment.(44)
In conclusion, while attitudes toward working women are far from perfect, there are increasingly changes in the treatment of women to pursue careers. Therefore, I think attitudes toward working womens have changed.(32)
