What roles did women take on you the early and middle 1800's?
Abolition and other movements. Most women would not or could not act alone, of course not all, but most women found that they could work through their churches. Women like Dorothea Dix, Louisa May Alcott, and multiple others made quite an impression. Dorothea Dix was a teacher and opened her first school when she was 19 years old, then she traveled around Massachusetts, and other states in the U.S, and worked to show the public about how poorly treated the 'mental ill' people were being treated. In most asylums people were chained to the wall (sometimes as early as 13 years old and stayed till they died) or put into cages like animals. Often times the 'mental ill' people were not even insane; lots of diseases we now have knowledge of like ADD or ADHD or schizophrenia were considered mentally ill. Dorothea Dix showed the world that the cruel treatment of the mentally ill was unhelpful and just downright wrong. Women who worked through their churches got laws changed. Often times when a group like this found a law that was sexist or unjust or just plain stupid they would actually go out and break that law. This usually resulted in trouble, but it did work. Laws were changed because of their civil disobedience. During the Civil War women began to really understand things. They began to work the shops, take care of the house, get a 'man's job,' and they were upset when the male soldiers came home and tried to take jobs back from the women. The women really began to understand that they were not just meant to stay at home and bow down to every whim of their fathers and husbands. They could think just as well, and some times better, than men. Why shouldn't they get to vote? Because of brave people--brave women, in this case--in 1920 women got the right to vote.
