AP US History question:
To what extent and in what ways did the roles of women change in American society between 1790 and 1860? Respond with reference to TWO of the following areas: domestic, economic, political, social.



Answer :

The role of women (specifically white women) changed dramatically during this time in the United States because production moved largely out of the house and into factories, meaning women stopped being producers and became consumers. Socially, this meant that women gained slightly more independence.
