Paragraph 1: A woman's role in France is carrying out the task of housekeeping, Preparing food, and taking care of their children if they have any. Women and men do not have equality today. Women do more work than mean and get paid 27 percent less than men. Women face inequality in the job market, lower wage, and get more difficult job paths. Women in this society do common jobs that are "made for women". France is the home of gender equality , but it is still a big problem there.

Paragraph 2: These articles connect to "Social Structure" in France by telling how women are treated and if they are equal with men. This tells me that a lot of countries have gender inequality issues. France's women do common jobs that people think all women should do supposedly. That is unfair for women to get paid less and do more work and harder jobs and mean are barely do hard labor work. Gender inequality is an important thing to have in a country. This helped me understand how woman are treated and the things they do in France.
