since earlier years women werent considered as important as men. They were considered intellectually inferior to men but also a major source and temptation and evil.  Women were displayed as being squeamish and weaker as aposed to men who were bright and strong minded and also the weight of the families.  During the 1800's women wasnt able to vote and they were displayed as stay at home mothers.  Women could not work because financials was the mans job .Women would work in the factorys with children to produce things, women didnt have say in politics such as voting, and many jobs except factory werent guaranteed to women also. But all had a turning point through the years.  In 1839 a law was passed that if marriages didnt last the children can be under the mothers responsibility.  In 1857 women could leave their husbands if they were treated unfairly. 1870 women was allowed to keep ownership of the profits they made after work. 1891 women werent forced to live in the same residence as their husband if they didnt choose to.A big alteration in womens life were the journey for the  rights to vote it was established in year 1848 on july at the seneca falls women rights convention.But the actual conformation of being allowed to vote was in the early 1920's.  Womens total rights change womens place in the world and society.
