Question

Explain three difficulties women faced during the Civil War:

Answer 1

Answer:

01. Inequality

02. Discrimination

03. Lack of rights

Explanation:

01. Women were seen as property, often not receiving the respect that they deserved.

02. Women were not treated properly by men, often excluding from important meetings, etc.

03. Women did not have the right to own land, property, vote, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. More than 400 women disguised themselves as men and fought in the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War.
2. Thousands of women in the North and South joined volunteer brigades and signed up to work as nurses.
3. With many of the adult men off to war, it was up to women to manage the home by themselves.
4. In many cases this included running the farms or businesses that their husbands left behind.
5. Women also raised money for the war effort.
6. They organized raffles and fairs and used the money to help pay for war supplies.
7. Women worked in factories and in government positions that were vacated when men left to fight.
8. Women were still seen as property and not human beings.

This all helped move forward the women's rights movement and change the way the US perceived women.

Hope this helps!
