Opportunities for women (con’t) Working class women & those without high school education: Jobs in industry (such as the garment industry) Change in perspective: many women began to see opportunities beyond the home

Opinion / Thought Question: How were opportunities in society limited for women in the 1800’s? How did changes in society change opportunities for women? Are women still limited in opportunity? Are there any areas in which you think women should be limited?
