Many women found they had enough time to enter the labour market. 33. Today, most women can make an independent living. They don't have to rely on men any longer.

It is hard for them to find a way out of poverty(贫穷). Perhaps things will be a lot different if they have washing machines. 35. But these machines do play an important role in our lives.
