Answer:

These women's jobs included domestic servant, farm worker, tailor and washerwoman. Working class women not only had to work their low paying jobs, but they were also expected to be mothers and housekeepers. Menial labor jobs did not include benefits like vacation or health insurance.

Answer:


\textbf{Women were to take care of their family and home. }

Step-by-step explanation:

A woman's place is in the home. Though not necessarily still true today, this was certainly the belief in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Since women could not vote, own property, or own their own businesses, many even believed that educating women would be wasteful!
