Detailed Solution

The above statement is true. As evidenced in a gendered division of labour, there is a widespread notion that women's primary role is housekeeping and childrearing. If the work is compensated, men do it, such as cooking and tailoring. Most tailors and cooks at hotels, for example, are male. Women, like men, work outside the house. Poor women labour as domestic servants in middle-class homes, but in cities, women work alongside men in workplaces. It is done in addition to their household duties. However, their efforts are not appreciated or recognised. Even though women constitute half of the world's population, their position in public life, particularly politics, is limited in most nations. This has resulted in campaigns for equal rights for women, such as voting rights, increasing women's political and legal standing, and expanding their educational and employment prospects. These are known as "feminist" movements.
