during the early nineteenth century added to the weight of the women’s plight in their efforts for equality. Women in marriages during this time‚ especially those of the arranged nature‚ were significantly less well of than their male counterparts. This oppression was enforced through social pressure‚ religious beliefs and practices‚ economics‚ and common law.

In this essay I will discuss two tools of maintaining segregation that emerged in the late 19th century as well as the early 20th century. I believe segregation in the United States stems from and is deeply rooted in immigration.

Looking for the differences between men and women and their way of communication is a trending topic everywhere. Women today speak to others with the intent of keeping others feelings and wants in mind‚ and this way of communication has been passed down for centuries.

In the middle of the 19th century‚ after the Reconstruction‚ rapid industrialization paved way to a huge increase of immigrants searching for job opportunities and freedom in the United States.

Women‚ particularly wives‚ were not to venture outside of it nor question its limiting standards‚ nor was an education beyond the most basic of standards considered necessary.

An example of this was at the London Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840. The right of women to take part was debated bitterly‚ as international clergymen said‚ “equal status for women was contrary to the will of God” (Woman Suffrage 2017‚ Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia).
