Answer:

Women

In Elizabethan times women belonged to their fathers (or their brothers if their father died), and then to their husbands. Women could not own property of their own. This is one of the reasons Queen Elizabeth never married – she did not want to give up her power to a man.

The only exceptions were widows – women whose husbands had died. A widow was in charge of her own life and property, but would be likely to marry again to find someone to protect her and to be the legal guardian to her children.

Women were allowed to marry from the age of 12 in Shakespeare’s time, but often only women from wealthy families would marry so young. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is 13, but her mother says by that age she was already married with a child. Many marriages were arranged for the good of the family and small children might be ‘betrothed’ to each other in order to join the families together before they were old enough to get married. Many women did not marry until their mid-20s. Men had to be able to support a household when they married.

Women were not allowed on the stage. All the female parts in plays at the time were played by boys whose voices hadn’t broken yet – the apprentices. In several of the plays the female characters disguise themselves as men – so the audience would have seen a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man. This happens in Twelfth Night, As You Like It and The Merchant of Venice.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

in 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago was a stark demonstration of just how divided the Democratic party had become. Students and members of the counterculture, known collectively as the “New Left” made up one faction, while the older generation of New Deal Democrats, which became known as the “Old Left,” constituted another. The convention descended into utter chaos as thousands of antiwar activists converged on the streets of Chicago, where law enforcement officers clubbed them with nightsticks and doused them in tear gas.

How do scholars know that Indo-Aryans raised cattle and depended upon their milk, but later turned to agriculture?
Talja [164]

The scholars know that the Indo-Aryans was once raised cattle and depended upon their milk but later turned to agriculture for they found evidence in the Vendidad where it shows the importance of sheep and cattle-rearing and their agricultural activities was considerably developed. These have been proved from careful comparison of a number of Vedic and Avesta words relating to agriculture.

Moreover, in most Vedic hymns, one can draw a conclusion that they settled down to a peaceful agricultural life and in the book of Atharva Veda, it contains the tradition of agriculture and that Prthi-Vainya was the inventor of ploughing.
