Women in Public Life Chapter 9-Section 2

Women in Public Life Before the Civil War, American women were expected to devote their time to home and family. By the late 19th and early 20th century, women were visible in the workforce.

Domestic Workers Before the turn-of-the-century women without formal education contributed to the economic welfare of their families by doing domestic work. Altogether, 70% of women employed in 1870 were servants.
