Stereotypes Of Women In The 19th Century

The women of the nineteenth century were stereotype in a negative way. The most difficult part of living in the nineteenth century as a women would be the stereotypes for example all women were viewed as weak, had no logic, emotional and depended. Those stereotypes were negative compared to the men. Men were viewed as brave, logic, independent and powerful. Women had no other choice than to be viewed differently even when it comes to their bodies. Women worn corsets to make themselves look slim and more lady like. Classes of women faced different difficult part. Lower class women were viewed as prostitutes, factory workers, did not have much money. Middle and upper class women were viewed to have more money, could help family business, and
they also were educated. I personally, would not be able to live in the nineteenth century just because of how they were treated. They were still expected to marry and have kids then to have a career. Once they got married they had no control over their property or lives. In the married lives their still had to make sure they gave their husbands love, and friendship. No women had the chance to work and make great profit in the nineteenth century. Basically, all women were nothing without the help of a men and had little authority over the home and how they raised their children.. As a black women, I think that I would not have a chance to do the thing like middle and upper class women just because of my ethnicity. So with the different roles for the women would probably be very different for a black women. The way that women were treated was wrong and as the society goes on men start to realize the importance of a women.
