Many were very proper.  Women are women.

The 20th Century for women was about liberation and gaining equality.  During the 20th Century women got the vote and broke into male dominated careers.  Now we are succeeding in ou careers and balancing everything in our lives.  Thankfully many men out there are willing to their share around the house (my fiance does more than his fair share and to a better standard than me when it comes to housework and cooking!) in order to support their partners.\n\nIn short without all the struggles of women in the 20th Century I wouldn't be a full time Engineer who also  volunteers with Air Cadets in her spare time with the ability to vote and get involved in politics.  I would hate to go back to a time where I couldn't do these things.

I'm betting that Home Economics was there.  Cooking and Sewing.   In the 1970s, our school had a "Bachelor Living" course for the guys.  Frankly, those boys could sew and we were jealous of their talent when the dress shirts they had made were put on display!\n\nThey also had typing and shorthand courses, like my grandmother took.  They tell me she could type 90 wpm on one of those old, old, old style typewriters!  She worked for a newspaper typing ariticles for the reporters until she married my grandfather.  \n\nI hope this helps.\n\nSue\n\nBut in the 1920s, there were just some things girls didn't learn, and some things they did.

It depends on what class you belonged to and where you lived. There was a rigid class system, though the middle class gained a new prominence. Britain didn't have a welfare system back then, so there were lots of poor people living in slums in major cities like London. The poor often had to go to workhouses, or if they were lucky, they were sometimes employed as household servants. Alcoholism was rampant in the slums. Women were sometimes forced to take up prostitution in order to buy booze and to survive. There was a high infant mortality rate among the poor.\n\nThis is a very loaded question, but I hope I gave some helpful information.

This is a bit of a trick question, but the first women to compete were in Paris 1900 \n\nGames of the II Olympiad \n\nThe Games of 1900 were held in Paris as part of the Exposition Universelle Internationale - the Paris World’s Fair. The exposition organizers spread the events over five months and de-emphasized their Olympic status to such an extent that many athletes died without ever knowing that they had participated in the Olympics. Women made their first appearance in the modern Games. The first to compete were Mme. Brohy and Mlle. Ohnier of France in croquet. The first female champion was in tennis: Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain. Tennis was one of five sports in which athletes from different nations competed on the same team. The others were football, polo, rowing and tug of war. Alvin Kraenzlein won four athletics events in three days and, on 16 July, Ray Ewry, who had overcome childhood polio, won three championships in one day - all in the standing jump events.\n\n24 NOCs (Nations)\n\n997 athletes (22 women, 975 men)\n\n95 events

I would love to live back in the 1800's (although that wasn't part of the question.) I'd want to be American, female, Christian plantation owner (rather wealthy).\n\nToday? I'd like to be a male, American, Christian, upper class gentleman.

By narrowing down what you want to talk about. There was a lot that happened in the 19th century, and a lot's going on right now. What in particular would you like to compare? Politics, business, fashion, science, religion? Just pick one of them, and be specific. Otherwise, you'll write a book!

They are very limited... their roles are to cook, take care of the kids. Basically like what it use to be in US and Britain until about a 100 years ago.

So many things happened in the 20th century!\n\nTechnology boomed: If you don't have a cell phone, TV, or computer, you're seen as primitive.\n\nCivil Rights were established:  Women are much more independent now and have more freedoms.  Same with minority groups.\n\nGo with history.  Whatever historical event was important, there are social changes to follow.
