Why wasn’t it common to see a woman from a middle class family working?

History

Answer: Status dictated it

Explanation:

In the past (and even now), middle class families often strove to be seen as people of higher status in the society much like the upper classes. For this reason they engaged in practices that were meant to show others that they were deserving of having status.

One of those practices was ensuring that the wife worked as little as possible outside the house. Women working was looked down on in the past especially for married women. It gave the impression of the husband being unable to adequately provide for his family and made people look down on the woman.

A middle class wife therefore, was expected to stay home, cook and take care of her husband and her children, supervise the home and ensure the man had peace of mind outside of work. This is what most of them did and why it was therefore uncommon to see a middle class woman working.

Why did george washinton step down from the continetial army?
Dmitry [639]
The reason why George Washington stepped down from the continental army is that "Washington’s willingness to return to civilian life was an essential element in the transformation of the War for Independence into a true revolution. During the war, Congress had granted Washington powers equivalent to those of a dictator and he could have easily taken solitary control of the new nation. Indeed, some political factions wanted Washington to become the new nation’s king. His modesty in declining the offer and resigning his military post at the end of the war fortified the republican foundations of the new nation. (Paragraph 4)"
