Question

How did the economy affect the choices women had?

Answer 1

In the early years of the 19th century, the time of the economic growth opened different opportunities to women. The right to suffrage was opened. Education was offered. Women accepted challenges on taking degrees of their choice. 
Their education helped them become additional workforce in the state industries.

Answer 2

Answer:

  Although the feminist movement did not get its name until the end of the 19th century, the first works by women who claim space in education and politics appear in the 18th century, inspired by the Enlightenment ideals of equality and freedom and the success of the French Revolution. This process, however, is long and slow, and the achievement of some of these rights is much more recent than we usually imagine. Even the most basic of these demands, such as the right to education and the vote - which today seem banal - gained strength only at the end of the 19th century and only came to pass, in fact, throughout the 20th century.

   With the industrial revolution of the eighteenth century and the rural exodus, women are given another role in society, that of a wage worker, even though their wages were much lower than that of men for carrying out the same job.

    This “concession” of the right to work externally, although with a very low labor value, did not usurp the function of taking care of domestic chores from women. Her conquest, therefore, did not equal her to men, on the contrary, her double journey began in history.
