century lived in an age characterized by gender
inequality. At the beginning of the century, women
enjoyed few of the legal, social, or political rights
that are now taken for granted in western countries:
they could not vote, could not sue or be sued, could
not testify in court, had extremely limited control
over personal property after marriage, were rarely
granted legal custody of their children in cases of
divorce, and were barred from institutions of higher
education..

• Women were expected to remain subservient to
their fathers and husbands. Their occupational
choices were also extremely limited. Middle- and
upper-class women generally remained home,
caring for their children and running the
household. Lower-class women often did work
outside the home, but usually as poorly-paid
domestic servants or laborers in factories and
mills.
