At this point in history, women were regarded as inferior to men and were not allowed to do 'men's work'. At this point, women couldn't even vote. They were expected to be a housewife to their husband, raise the kids and do all of the housework. They were only supposed to leave their home with their husband's permission and their husband could generally do whatever he wanted. In general, women were regarded as the weaker sex and were not seen as fit to do the work that men did.

Why was it difficult for American women to work outside the home before the 1920's?

Before the 1920s, American women faced significant societal and cultural barriers that made it difficult to work outside the home. The prevailing belief in separate gender roles dictated that women should focus on domestic duties and caregiving, while men were seen as the primary breadwinners. Additionally, many professions were closed to women, and those that were available often paid poorly and offered limited advancement opportunities. The lack of supportive policies, such as childcare services and flexible work hours, further hindered women's ability to enter the workforce.

Why is it so difficult to date a Middle Eastern man when you are an American woman?

They come from a completely different culture where women outside of their immediate family are not accessible. If a woman comes over to visit the family, it is only with the women of the family. If her father brings her, he will visit only with the men. I knew several American women who had married Saudi Arabian men and they eventually lived over there. Life was very different for them, and difficult, depending on the man's family and how they treated women. There was limited independence.
