Question

The roles of men and women were strictly defined during the 1800s. Women were given pamphlets instructing them on proper child rearing practices and tips about how to perform household duties. For the first time, large numbers of men began working outside the home in factories creating a brand new middle class. Prior to this most people worked on their own farms for a living. Leaving the wife as primary caregiver during large portions of the day solidified the expectations that were placed on both women and men. Alcohol abuse became a growing problem in the United States among males during this time. Women and children suffered the most. Many females sought to have laws that would limit its damaging effects on their families. This was challenging since women did not have the right to vote.
