6. The opinion of the 19th century feminists on prostitution. Authors, who wrote about women’s
issues.
People wanted to “cure” prostitutes by torturing them. Some feminists thought that prostitution
showed male dominance over women, others thought that as long as prostitution is not forced
on women it’s okay.
7. Women’s access to employment during the late 19th/early 20thcentury. Education system.
Women had basic education but wanted access to it on a larger scale. Women’s schools were
established were they could learn teaching, nursing, law. But in practice that was only

available for women, in 1848 the first colleges for women were established.
