Life for African American women changed over time through the 1900's. During some decades they were treated badly, but as women achieved rights and as African Americans had rights, they were able to do more and treated better by everyone.

At the start of the Twentieth Century, women had a very stereotypical role in British society. If married, they stayed at home to look after the children while their husband worked and brought in a weekly wage. If single, they did work which usually involved some form of service such as working as a waitress, cooking etc. Many young women were simply expected to get married and have children. The term "spinster", though not a term of outright abuse, was still seen as having some form of stigma attached to it......that you were not good enough to get a husbands

so that will mean that woman back then couldn't work but to cook and clean and watch after the kids until their husbands comes home.

{ that sound kind of mess up huh Lol}
