generally accepted their inferior status as their only option At this time, women shared these
disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political

[extensivve]enterprises The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that
women’s “rightful place” was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of
employment and politics

campaigned to gain suffrage [ right to vote in political elections]– that is, the right to vote This
