Final answer:
The group of women that did NOT have to work constantly due to societal expectations about domesticity were the Upper-class women; working-class women and those from less privileged backgrounds had to engage in labor outside the home to support themselves or their families.
Step-by-step explanation:
Which of these was NOT a class of women who could not take advantage of domesticity and had to work constantly? The correct answer is (a) Upper-class women. While women from various social classes experienced a range of restrictions and had limited rights, it was primarily those from the working-class and not the aristocracy or upper-class women who had to engage in constant labor. Upper-class women, along with women from the aristocracy, typically did not work for wages; indeed, societal norms of the time dictated that their roles were to maintain the household and care for their family. Conversely, working-class women often worked in factories, as domestic workers, or in other trades to support their families or themselves, especially if they were unmarried or had no male providers.
