'Before the Great War the position of women in society depended on birth, class, marriage, and men\r'

'Women had to live up to an ideal created by men. This meant women had to appear less ready than their husbands, women had to be well mannered, and modest in deportment and speech. Women from richer middle and upper figure families had servants to look subsequently their homes and werent expected to subject. Upper discriminate women were brought up and improve to be a dutiful wife. Lower word form women had to look after their husband, manage everything in the dramaturgy as well as finance, be short faithful to her husband and willingly manage a large family\r\nSome women did go to work; in 1901 55% of single women and 14% of married women were at work. In 1914 the largest employer of women was the Domestic operate with 1,600,000 this is because the Domestic Service was regarded as better than working in factories. nearly 656,000 women worked in the factories of the textile industry †especially the cotton fiber mills of northern England. haemorrhoid of women were i n work but many of them hardly made plentiful money to live on.\r\nMarried working class women faced a lot of problems. Families were large: 71% of women had four or more kidren and 41% had cardinal or more. Many women however lost children to diseases similar Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, and Tubercular. Children died because they didnt have any health interest and doctors were expensive and hard to find. Poverty, bad housing and child bearing affected the health of working class women probably because they put the health of their husbands first as they had to be at work to earn money.\r\nLots of women valued the vote before the Great War. Suffragists wanted the vote and played by the law where as Suffragettes were more militant. The Suffragettes committed many acts of violence such as destruction of property and arson. Lots of people were against giving women the right to vote, even queen capital of Seychelles was. This meant womens suffrage had to gain support, so they conti nued with their bound and put posters up to try to gain support. The political sympathies passed a cat and mouse act which allowed Suffragettes to be released when they became ill because of their hunger strike and as in short as they were better again they were arrested and sent patronage to prison to finish their sentence. The outbreak of the First universe of discourse War brought an end to the Suffragettes campaign.\r\n'
