Question

Describe how the rights of women in the United States changed from the 19th to the 20th centuries.

Answer 1

19th-Century Expectations

In both North America and Europe in the 19th century, women and men were expected to fill separate spheres of society. Men were expected to live a public life, whether it was working in a factory or socializing with like-minded men in public places, like meetings. On the other hand, women were usually expected to live their lives largely homebound, taking care of the cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. Free time for women was not supposed to be spent socializing but doing other things related to the maintenance of the family, from sewing socks to laundry.

The answer would be C.
