>> A woman’s place is in the home.
I understand halakha gives considerable autonomy to women. On one hand, it is definitely fine if the woman stays at home. Some current government people disagree. They are now quoting numbers of women who stayed at home during COVID as a generational “setback”. They insist on measuring and forcing women into workforce without, seemingly, bothering to ask those women what they actually prefer.
On the other hand, halakha definitely allows for women in business, allowing them to keep and manage property. Even in Torah learning, R Yehuda brings an unprompted example of Beruriah learning from multiple teachers to someone who thinks he can learn fast. She probably had to travel to get to all of these classes, unless they were on zoom.
You can make a case that halakha requires a woman not to be idle. Then, with all the (men-invented) dishwashers and washing machines, there is less things to do at home. Of course, standards of tideness increased in response (mostly by women themselves!). So, then she can either need to work or teach the kids. So, she needs either a profession, a Torah education, or secular education. Otherwise, we are essentially relegating women to spending their times to make the houses look better than Joneses, which is not a mitzvah at all.
PS New consideration – women can now work or do business from home, maybe resolving some of the contradictions?
