questions to Adams and any others
hello
i have some questions related to the 19th century society in England.
1-what are the gender injustices present in the 19th century English society?
2-Why was the financial security more important than being in love?
3-whats is the entailment on the families?
4-why were the women in that age inferior in society?
2-Why was the financial security more important than being in love?
The second question is easier to answer than all the others. In modern day Britain, if there is a problem, people can fall back on the welfare state to provide for their basic needs. In earlier days, that was not possible, which is still the case in many countries today. Consequently, family and church were much more important.
4-why were the women in that age inferior in society?
This question is more difficult, but in some ways is easy to answer. The legal status of women was different from what it is today.
Why should that be?
In a more violent society, then 'men' are at an advantage.
The Christian Church places men above women.
Without contraception, women often found themselves looking after unwanted children.
1-what are the gender injustices present in the 19th century English society?
This question is a leading question. Why do you think the differences between men and women in the 19th Century amounted to 'Gender Injustices'?
3-whats is the entailment on the families?
I am going to have to look up 'Google' to find the answer to this one.
"The act of entailing or of giving, as an estate, and directing the mode of descent."
I had difficulty in finding a definition for 'entailment'. Essentially it is concerned with 'inheritance'. It may also be concerned with 'dowries'.

thank you for your reply
in most novels,for example, in that age; there is something like, women or mothers were forcing their daughters to marry the very rich man and not concerning if the daughter likes this person or not. from this point i noticed that love was valueless. if what i'm talking about is right, i would like to know when this was over?
UNDER MY THUMB
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ain't it the truth babe?
Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright
Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah
It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me, oh that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright.
Say it's all...
Say it's all...
Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe.

"4-why were the women in that age inferior in society? "
I'm not sure about that answer, although it wasn't just Britain in the 19th Century in which which women were considered inferior. The same was true of nearly every country in the world. In thw 19th century, women in EVERY country in the world weren't allowed to vote in elections, but Britain was one of the first countries to give women the vote. Women in Britain got the vote in 1918, thanks to the Suffragettes.
The first country in the world to give women the vote was New Zealand in 1893, but there were certain areas of other countries that got the vote before that. For example, Colorado was the first American state to give women the vote in 1893, followed by Utah in 1896.
At one time, people talked about the 'Battle of the sexes', that battle seems to have been largely won.
This is a News Story in The Times today. There are various things that people like to do, that have been deemed to be 'Political Incorrect' and 'Publically unaceptable'.
Smoking
Drink / Driving
Speeding
Racism
Sexism
It is very difficult to publically endorse any of these activities.

Football hath no fury like a woman referee scorned
By Alyson Rudd and Helen Nugent
A SELF-CONFESSED sexist football manager incurred the wrath of women players and officials yesterday after a personal attack on the female assistant referee he blamed for refusing a penalty to his side.
Mike Newell, the manager of Luton Town, now faces the prospect of a Football Association disciplinary inquiry over his criticism of Amy Rayner.
