Answer:
Women in 1848 could not vote, they could not own property, even the wages they earned, they could not be educated in a college, and they had no choice: they were always the legal guardian of their children in case of a separation between her and her husband. This is much different from the women's rights in the US today because women can do these things: they now have equal rights to men. One of the most surprising differences that I saw was the fact that women's wages were not only less than men's, but they were taken away from them as well, with their property. This is stated in the Declaration of Sentiments as: "He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns."
Explanation:
All you have to do is read the passage and take the things that women could not do and ask: "Can they do that today, in the modern world?" If they can, then you have an answer.
I hope this helped you!! :)
