From the construction of this nation, to becoming America, this nation has promoted three main concepts: liberty freedom and equality. The conspiracy between the founding concepts and the idea of who is granted these privileges was still to be determined in the following years to come. Since the creation of this nation, women were unprivileged as their natural rights were not taken into consideration. Women in the 1700’s were seen as strictly domestic housewives continuing with the perception that women belonged at home and men belong in the work force. For the most part, women were seen and treated as property.…
Women have been the slave of man for many generations. Women must get married at a certain age, and do what their husbands say. They must have children, cook for the family, and clean for the family. For some years, if the women’s husband died, they were a widow and basically shunned from society. Once the revolution came though, that was when women started to really make their mark in America.…

To state this in similar terms, look at sports. Women don’t play football, and those sport that have female leagues, do not get close to the amount of attention as similar male sports do (Basketball, Softball).…
Rights of Women in Canada Before the Industrial Revolution Women were not considered people until 1929 in Canada. Women were basically their father’s or their husband’s property. They faced many challenges in a patriarchal system that overlooked the views of women because they were not considered a person. Women were expected to uphold domestic roles and to make life more comfortable for their children and husband. Women were encouraged to fit into the set gender roles during that time, and many things (Things that are basic human rights such as the right to vocalizing one’s opinions or the right to a higher education), went against the traditional set of morals for a woman in that time.…
The view of women has been adapting for the most part, with the times. The patriarchal society we once knew we can see slowly diminishing.

For instance, while the Ministry of Education provides private education for both men and women, they do so separately.…
A woman by default was expected to be a loving a wife and mother with strong religious values and morality, it is her obligation. The ideal of a woman has not really changed from what it was two centuries ago, but in the United States there has been an effort to tear down the gender-roles that have been established. A woman now might be expected to become the “Martha Stewart” of her home, but if she chooses not to it is not a big deal. Additionally she is able to pursue an education and obtain any job she chooses. However, it would not have been possible if the women of earlier decades have been conformists with their status.…
