Answer:

the answer is more rights than married women

Step-by-step explanation:

From the late 1700s to the mid 1800, unmarried women had many more rights than their married counterparts. They could own land, get any job that was not restricted to men, enter into contracts, buy and sell, even own slaves. When they got married, all of their rights were taken away and their properties became that of her husband.
