Women in Athens were not allowed to partake in decisions concerning the government in Athens or

Barriers of the Twentieth Century Although slavery in America was legally abolished in 1865‚ the tension between different racial groups remained well into the 20th century and beyond. While the South continued to be a place of extreme racism and increasing violence‚ the North appeared to be a bit more accommodating‚ although still not a true area of equality. This difference can be seen in two literary works‚ Anne Moody’s autobiography‚ Coming of Age in Mississippi‚ and Nella Larsen’s novel‚
