In the 1700s, wages varied significantly by occupation, region, and gender. Generally, men earned higher wages than women, often receiving about two to three times more for similar work. Women predominantly worked in domestic roles or as laborers, with their earnings typically reflecting societal norms that undervalued their contributions. Additionally, economic conditions and local demand influenced wage levels, leading to further disparities based on gender and profession.
Yes they were women got paid little wages, and few hours. They likely worked either in a factory or as a school teacher.

Throughout the 20th century, women's wages varied significantly based on factors such as industry, race, and location. In the early decades, women often earned a fraction of what men made, with statistics showing they typically earned about 50-60% of men's wages. By the latter part of the century, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, women's labor force participation increased, and movements for equal pay gained momentum, leading to gradual improvements in their earning potential. Despite these advancements, women continued to face a persistent wage gap compared to their male counterparts.
the men hunted and the women gathred
Wages were about 6 Shillings (60c) in that era
Most women remained at home to look after the children. Others worked in ammunition factories.
In 1963, women's wages were only 59 percent of that of male workers. Prior to President Kennedy's Equal Pay Act, women were only getting $.59 out of every dollar men made. Although women have come a long way since those days, they still aren't on par with male wages, and only make about $.83 out of every dollar a man makes.
The factories could pay women lower wages than they could pay men.

i think that's a good qustion... um no I think that only reffered to white men that owned land in the 1700s.
An example of sexism in the 1700s is the legal doctrine of coverture, which held that a married woman’s legal identity was subsumed by her husband’s. This meant women could not own property, enter contracts, or earn wages in their own name, effectively rendering them legally dependent on their husbands. Additionally, societal norms prioritized men in education and professional opportunities, further entrenching gender inequality during this period.
Because women are indeed property of men even today. It is because majority of men enjoy dominating their wives and majority of women enjoy submitting to their husbands. Something biological I guess. Women talking like a feminist change after finding a loving dominant partner.
a common answer is lower wages (half of mans salery) men would rather plow their farmland and a need for workers
the two ways woman worked for there equal right was the right to vote and to also have every thing equal for both men and women.
Men make 15-20% more in wages have more free time and I think the amusing think I hear lately is men are assertive and women are classified as aggressive in identical circumstances.Gender inequality is men and women are treated differently in the workplace. For example, women may not be paid the same wages as men even when they both are working the same position.
