analysis
In this sentence. In spite of the two world wars, suffragettes, and the media having made women and men socially more equal, there was still a power conflict in the place, as it was impossible to swiftly undo such a long-standing state of affairs.
My try: From 'in spite up to equal: adverbial clause of consession (I'm not altogether sure because in spite of is not a conjunction)
There was still...up to affairs = Subject (anticipatory 'there') Main clause
Inside this clause, from as up to the end, adverbial clause of reason.
I got a confused!
Thanks
