If this question refers to Great Britain, then I hope this is a satisfacotry answer: The women of Britain were determined to be treat just as equally as men by doing all sortsof crazy things like chaining themselves to Buckingham Palace railings, setting fires to railways churches etc, even going on hunger-strike anything to get the public and governments attention. The government reacted to the hunger-strike campaign by arresting all hunger-strike and force-feeding and if they refused that then they would stick tubes down their throat and pour soup down urrgghhhh!!

In Britain, women were given the vote in 1918, at the end of WW1. This gave them more freedom than before, and allowed them to work in previously male-dominated areas. This life only suited some women, and others were perfectly happy still being the classic housewife men were expected to marry.

Before automation (dishwashers, clotheswashers, etc.), maintaining a family home was a full-time purpose. And mostly this task was laid before the female, while the husband worked outside the home. Females who did not marry became spinsters, which originally referred to menial textile work but later could mean any work to support herself sans husband. The advent of automation provoked the "second wave" of feminism, when the home was no longer satisfyingly or proudly challenging. Homemakers turned to the (traditionally male) workplace in order to satiate their desire for purpose and pride.
