She learned from his book that wife beating was a recognized right, and that daughters who resisted their parents’ choice of a husband were “locked-up, beaten and flung about the room” (Ulrich, 74). Women have been objectified for many centuries, however I am disappointed that there is misogynistic behavior in theater as well. The first big female star was Charlotte Cushman in the 19th century.
