The benefits of today's modern Western woman are (thankfully) a direct reaction to the combining factors of three somewhat recent and equally world changing movements, the Scientific Revolution, the Protestant Reformation, and the Industrial Revolution. These three movements unintentionally developed the fertile philosophical ground which propelled the idea and the need of a "Woman's Movement". Biologists and anthropologists note a phenomenon "punctuated evolution" where species go for long periods with little change, then have a period of rapid transformations. I believe human culture experiences such changes as well, and the catalyst for this cultural evolution came during the Industrial Revolution. When western society began moving towards a new cash economy, harsh new labor stratifications developed between men and women. This separation caused the sharp devaluement of women's economic importance and the sequential determination of women to march with a Marxist ideology of a "class struggle" for their rights. .
