In the South, only the necessary subjects were taught to the women. Those…

couple of centuries ago. Women in the 19th century often felt oppressed; back then women had no rights and were totally dependent on men. Women in the 19th century were assumed to desire marriage, and children. The thought of a woman leaving her husband in that time period was considered deplorable and immoral, which often led to women feeling trapped within their marriages.

There has long been a debate no whether the capitalists of the late 19th century to early 20th century (such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc.) were “captains of industry” who looked to better the budding country or corrupt “robber barons” who only looked after themselves. One needs to take a good long look back into this time period to uncover the truth of the matter; however, once one does this, it becomes quite apparent that the later of the two is quite factual while the former falls flat on…

During the 19th century, America, more so in the South, was still recovering from the Civil War. With slaves no longer being a valuable means of labor the South had to start finding more ways for production. This huge blow to the South forced the South to start industrializing and reforming into the “New South.” The cons of industrialization are far greater than the pros. Industrialization brought the U.S. the worth of time, a split in social class, drugs, expansion, and death. Industrialization…

leading to many issues concerning women. In "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin, Chopin tends to express the idea of motherhood as an important aspect throughout the novel. "The Awakening" serves as a feminist literature that portrays how in the late 19th century, women such as Edna faced several issues: not realizing who they are as a human being, realizing that they have no place in society, and having a habitual neglect of their children and husbands.

We can continue on for a longer period of time to get more in-depth on the origin of gender inequality in religion, but let us go onto the focus of the 19th century. British literature displays the opinion of marriage, and that opinion isn’t the highest of standards. Katherine Phillips shows such in her poem “Friendship”. Phillips begins by defining love, explaining how love is in nature and in the heavens, which flows off into the earth (Line 5-13). Then, she explains how love is a…
