Gender roles have changed a lot in the past one hundred years. From Rosa Parks to Susan B. Anthony women have had a lot of controversy. Women were not expected to get an education, were not thought of equally, and were not allowed to get certain jobs they wanted. First and foremost, women were not allowed to get a good education. Women would only get to go to school until they hit age 10. This resulted in them not getting to learn much. Sometimes poor families would not get a chance for their daughters go to school. This happened to make women look like they weren’t very smart. To make matters worse, only rich families could send their daughters to college and what not. This meant women with more money and education were seen as better.
