”The colonial cities offered new opportunities to women during the 19th century. ” Support the Statement with facts.

The new opportunities that the colonial cities offered to women during the 19th century:

(i) Middle-class women sought to express themselves through the medium of journals, autobiographies and books.

(ii) Over time, women became more visible in public.

(iii) They entered new professions in the city as domestic and factory workers, teachers, and theatre and film actresses.

(iv) Even reformers who supported women’s education saw women primarily as mothers and wives, and wanted them to remain within the enclosed spaces of the household.

(v) But for a long time women who moved out of the household into public spaces remained the objects of social censure.
