In the 1800s, women primarily found employment in roles such as domestic servants, factory workers, teachers, and seamstresses. These jobs offered limited pay and often poor working conditions, but they provided women with a sense of independence and the ability to contribute financially to their households. However, societal expectations still confined many women to traditional roles, and their professional opportunities were often restricted by class and race. This duality of gaining work experience while facing societal limitations significantly shaped women's lives and their future pursuits for rights and equality.
