it used to be that women were only housewives. the men were the ones who went outside the house for work. the women was to be a wife, mother, homemaker, etc. take care of the family and the food. the women had to fight for their rights long before the 1920s but that was a major movement that showed that women are equal to men. women didnt have that equality before.

Women and children were considered property and not people. It's still hard for women and children in some countries.

Woman were not equal to men. Men were supposedly smarter and woman could not handle making choices about goverment.
If you want facts you should go read about it yourself.
