Many years ago, people often said  “a woman’s place is in the home ”. But Americans do not feel that way any more. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the America labor force. There are about 45 million working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married women with children. In 1980, for the first time in the nation’s history there were more working wives than household wives. Looking back to 1940, we can see a picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married women held jobs.

Today, most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do they work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women today are better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions than women had earlier.

Galileo Galileo was born in 1564 in the city of Pisa, Italy. About twenty years later he attended the University of Pisa. At first he wanted to become a doctor, but while he was there he became interested in science and decided to become a scientist. In 1592, a year after his father's death, the University of Padua invited him to be a professor of mathematics. He stayed there for 19 years, where he became interested in the stars. He made an instrument which made far-away things look larger and easier to examine. This was called the telescope. When he was studying the stars, he discovered that the "stars" which moved were not really stars, but worlds like the earth. He proved the Copernicus was right; the earth and the planets indeed moved around the sun.
