What were the Catholic and Protestant views on Women in the late 1800's and early 1900's?

The view about women during that time was very bad by today's standards. They were second class citizens. They could not vote, or even own property.

Even when I was a younger woman in the 1960's, I could not get a mortgage without either my husband or father signing it. Things changed after the women's movement of the 1970's. The Catholic church was about like it still is today.

They think that women should be baby factories, etc. And some of the Protestants have not changed much either with their 'no women should speak in church' and a 'woman is subject to her husband' crap. Thank God I am an Episcopalian! More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
