Man vs. Woman in Society

The population of Britain during the 19th century grew rapidly. In 1801 there was almost 9 million people living in Britain. The role played by men was very different then the role played by women in the 1800s. Men were allow to vote but only a few, until 1832 when more men were given the privillage to vote but, no females were allow to vote at all. Females did work in the 19th century but mostly as servants because it was cheaper to employ a woman then a man. During those times the father of the house was consider “head of the house” while his wife was a house wife and took care of the family.The woman was considered his property and if she worked the money she earned would’ve became his money. Men generally were expected to have a more public role than women. (http://www.localhistories.org/19thcent.html)
