Moved this to the Sociology forum for you :smile:
24 marks = 20-25 minutes in the exam.

You will need to explore the sociological arguments for women being more powerful in the home (Silver and Schor, Gershuny, etc etc) and arguments AGAINST which will primarily come from your radical feminist writers, Crompton, Oakley, etc etc. A few general pointers for you:

1) Explain the change in family structure - historically women were always in the home and now they have been moved into the workforce as well (link in the dual burden here!!!)

2) Bring in real life examples from the news/culture/history to support your points

3) IF there is an item, REFERENCE THIS IN YOUR INTRODUCTION, TWICE THROUGHOUT AND IN YOUR CONCLUSION!!!!! You will be penalised heavily for not referencing to the item

4) You need two points for yes women have status and two points for no - in your conclusion you need to take a side

Hope this helps. Mail me if you need any help elsewhere :-)
