Oppression of Women in 19th Century Literature In the stories “The Jewelry” by Guy de Maupassant, “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, and “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the female characters are unequal and less important than the men in society.

gangs have not always been about drugs and violence. In the early 19th century, gangs are not what people perceive them to be today. Gangs in the 19th century were volunteers with the fire department back in the Antebellum Period, which is the period before the civil war and after the War of 1812.

Inspirational Women Women in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries have faced many obstacles. Many of these obstacles included inequality of the sexes, slavery, and unheard voices and most importantly recognition. These women all have different stories to tell.

During the 19th century, change was in the air. Industrialization, involving the movement of labor and resources away from agriculture and toward manufacturing and commercial industries, was in progress. As a result, thousands of women were moving from the domestic life to the industrial world. During the 19th century, the family economy was replaced by a new patriarchy which saw women moving from the small, safe world of family workshops or home-based businesses to larger scale sweatshops and factories

Imperialism is not only a movement prevalent throughout history, but also a means for Europe’s superiority complex to shine. Europe began Imperialism as a way of acquiring more land, money and power.

Society is a structure that besieges every individual. Its daunting presence is inescapable. Throughout the 19th century, the American people were trapped in a rapidly industrializing nation flooded with corruption and greed.
