| Question | Life was particularly difficult for lower class women. |
|---|---|
| Answer | Unlike their upper class counterparts, who could rely on marrying and being supported by their husband’s wealth, many lower class women needed to work to have any chance of supporting themselves. The work available to them was some of the lowest-paid and lowest-skilled, as many women had no education. Working class women needed to marry and have children to have any chance of being accepted by society, but being a mother made working even harder. Many women left the workforce after marrying, but some didn’t have a choice. |
