;Women are held back from careers by institutionalised paternalism
;Women are held back from careers by institutionalised paternalism
::This myth stems from the idea that, given the opportunity, just as many women would seek a career as do men. In reality, this is nowhere near the truth; women are far more likely to choose another life path (such as focusing on a family).

;Women, until the 1960s, were barred from education and/or literacy
::In actuality, while not necessarily in the public education system, most women DID get an education of sorts even before the 20th century, and in the 1900s, they had been taught in at the very least the public education system. In fact, besides acting as a housewife, the four main careers they had during the 1950s (schoolteacher, secretary, nurse, and flight attendant) all required some degree of literacy and educational backgrounds.
