In early American history, men primarily occupied public roles, engaging in politics, business, and military service, which positioned them as leaders and decision-makers within society. Women, on the other hand, were largely confined to domestic spheres, responsible for household management and child-rearing, although some, particularly in indigenous and frontier communities, took on more active roles. While women contributed significantly to the economy through farming and crafts, their contributions were often undervalued and overlooked in historical narratives. The evolving roles of both genders laid the groundwork for later social movements advocating for gender equality.

Women in early history were unable to perform in theater as it was reserved completely for men. In more recent times, women have become almost equal to men in entertainment. African American women were also excluded from entertainment until the 1960s when women like Pam Grier stood up for women's rights in entertainment.
