Women in the 1900's?

Today I'm being told that I need to write about 'the condition of women in the 1900's'. Yay!


Well my first point is this, I don't care. Although, this point will not be sufficient enough for this blog so I will continue. My thoughts are this, women in the 1900's are much like women today . . . some of them are at home nagging to their husbands about everything under the sun, another percentage of women are pursuing women's rights and leading 'successful' lives, and of course there is those few women (haha, a few) who are going around like scorpion-women stealing the souls of helpless men and all of their property as well. We men have names for these women, 'gypsy' 'smarmy-sea-pirate' 'gold-digger' and 'B****' I truly do not mean for this blog to offend anyone, however, since I am an American male and I have the right to voice my opinion I choose to do so. 


On a more serious note, in the 1900's women were fighting for rights in a mans world. To this day they are still fighting the very same struggle, however, there have been many improvements as to the condition of women. Just recently I read in my history book about the rise of factories throughout the NorthEast of the U.S. Women would leave their homes and live in these compounds working long hours for lower wages and have grueling work conditions. With that, they were considered inferior to men, had lost their brief right to vote in some states (late 1800's) and they were fighting to gain those rights back. Women were not sociably allowed to travel alone and 'depended' upon men for most things in life. If a women was a widow or single mother then they had to rely on the church. In fact, many of these types of women were sent to South Dakota were the Lutheran Church had provided for them. 


Well, this is all I have to say about this topic.
