    Men’s Fears of Determined Feminists in the 19th and 20th Century In the 19th and early 2oth century‚ women in The United States were considered as the inferior gender to men. Men believed women were not intellectually strong enough to keep up with society’s discussions and political disputes. Females during this time period were forced to stay home and be “Mother Women”‚ rather than freely work or act as they wished (Chopin 16-17).

    19th Century “Freedom” In the 19th century‚ freedom had various meanings to different groups of people. A people’s class‚ race‚ or gender heavily swayed the ways in which they defined the term freedom. A white male‚ for example‚ would have had a vastly different view of what freedom meant than a runaway slave would have had.

    Disability rights didn’t always exist though. Ever since the 19th century‚ there were tons of problems and arguments before the U.S. finally made their decision about how to treat such a subject. I still don’t think their decision is fair though. I feel strongly about this issue because it hits close to home. In the early 19th century‚ two lovely people‚ Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc‚ came up with the beautiful idea to create the American School for the Deaf in 1817 (which was

Ibsen is known to reflect the 19th century society through most of
