Today we learned about the rights of women in the 19th century. I always had thought that women were treated well during that time period, but today I learned that there were basically no differences between women and slaves. Women had hardly any rights, they couldnt vote, werent entitled to their property and wages, and kids.
I read an essay on the Quaker society and I found out that Quaker women were treated very well, they had the same rights as men. Also, something I found interesting was that marriages were initiated from actual relationships, as opposed to just being married for the sake of being married.
