Final answer:

In Twain's time, women were often stereotyped as being submissive and confined to traditional gender roles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Twain's time, women were often stereotyped as being submissive.

Even as women gained new rights, society would still seek to confine them to the stereotypical 'woman's place' of being submissive. Women were expected to prioritize motherly and household duties, and their independence was often limited. This stereotype is reflected in the literature of the time, including Mark Twain's works.
