How have the roles of women changed in our society in the last 100 years?

I think the role of the women has changed in the last century. During the humankind history, at least in European culture, women had been playing the role of being an object and a complement for the man. I really don't know why this situation of women's submission was so common, I can't find a reason that could make  the persons of the past think this way.

Sometimes I wonder if could had happened the same situation but with men instead of woman, and if it had happened, what would have been the consequences then? In any case it would be a madness to approve it. 

As we can see in the story of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, the main character constantly plays with women that fall in love with him, and the relationship they have has ever Dorian as the one who decides everything. About that, I thing that, perhaps, if there would have been some girl with more personality it could had helped Dorian to realize he was having a bad way of acting and living and he maybe had changed making the end of the story something totally different.
