Answer:

women were generally trapped in their homes and would only perform domestic chaos and duties. ... Socially, women were considered weaker hence unequal to their men counterparts. Some people would compare such a condition as slavery. Women had no control of their lives

Answer:

Well, I decided to answer. *nervous laughter*

Being born a girl I've seen the things are still put through today.

But if you read books written during the 1700s it's a lot worse.

The Hamilton Musical is a great representation of that.

Women were expected to stay home and raise the children, do all cooking, cleaning, etc, and most of all: obey their husbands.

They were forced to wear corsets and hot scratchy dresses, uncomfortable shoes, so they could look appealing to rich men. All marriages were based off of social status and money rather than actual love.

All in all, it was awful and I'm glad I was born in the 21st century.
