Discussion Three Millennials - How Millennials are Creating a Cultural Shift in Gender Roles Expectations of Millennial Women Breaking Down Gender Roles at Work and at Home By Linda Lowen , About.com Guide The gender revolution is underway, and millennial women (born between 1977 and 1995) are at the forefront.
