19TH Century Britain by: Emilia Ballou, Brooks Harrison, and Bailey Fallon

Women usually were servants, and they rarely inherited money.

Girls received less education than males, and rarely had careers. They were paid less if they did.

Husbands usually beat their wives and forced them to have children.

When women married, all their inheritance went to their husband, including children.

It was a disgrace for women to be older and not married.

Divorces were rare. If a wife tried to run away, she would be hunted by the police.
