Ad Encouraging Women

Ad Encouraging Women

I found this article while I was looking for sources for my Collections Project and I thought it provided the perfected summary of how women's roles changed in society based on their realization of how their health was being compromised. This article discusses how they escape the clothing that kept them fro being healthy involved women to wearing looser petticoats and playing significant roles in society. The future women in this article are praised because they offer educated, and responsible Christian view on different aspects of society, which is why this article makes it seem they are more competent than men. "The woman of the future will have a strong mind and a sound body, and she will be ready to do cheerfully and readily whatever may be asked of her," which is ironic because the women are suppose to be free of duties to other people, but they still were expected to do whatever people told them to do.
