Before 1800,women’s only place was in the home.The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable.No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was a “man’s world”.Even if she could,what would she do?Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home.This was such a widely accepted(被接受的) idea.When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846,they disguised （隐瞒）themselves by signing their books with men’s names.
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800.But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men.Oberlin College was the first college in America to accept women.
Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous.Because she was a rich and cultured woman,as well as a nurse,people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies.” Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.
The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world.Because women had quick fingers,they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well.
By 1900,thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools,hospitals,and offices in both England and America.Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers.The ideas that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted.
