Questions and tasks
You will find below 10 of the information cards used in Sections 3 and 4 (the twentieth century).
You will also find the outline of a ‘time graph’.
Your task is to select items that you think
best explain the progress (or lack of progress) made by women in Wales over the whole period of 150 years.
The cards have been colour coded to enable you to produce two lines of development on the graph – one (red) representing working class
women and the other (blue) representing middle class women.

What progress have women in Wales made over the last 150 years? |
- Select up to 10 thumbnail information items (click and drag) to represent the main ‘change points’ for women in Wales during the last 150
years.
- Place the selected items at appropriate points on the graph (horizontal position by date; vertical position by amount of progress made). When doing this, bear in mind that:
- A higher point on the change factor scale will indicate a
measure of progress between one point to the next;
- The same point on the change factor scale will indicate a period of continuity or lack of change between one point and the next;
- A lower point on the change factor scale will indicate
regression – where conditions actually became worse between one point and the next.
- Use the graph to write an account of the progress made by women in Wales over the last 150 years.
- What is the advantage of taking a long view of developments in the role and status of women?
