= ﻿ Roles of Women in the 19th Century= [| Roles of women] were far more strenuous, labor intensive, and paid much less then any job a man could get. For women life was an endless turbine of hard work and drudgery day in and day out. As soon as they were old enough they worked on farms and in factories in very poor conditions. Even when they married and had children housework was very hard without electricity or modern cleaning agents. On the other hand women began to recieve education in england from the Church at around 1870. women also began to play sports and other recreational activities archery, which was considered 'ladylike'. In the late 19th century tennis, croquet and cycling were increasingly more popular. Women first played at Wimbledon in 1884. Eventually fashion became the fancy of women, but sadly women never could obtain jobs or respect until the 20th century when women fought for their civil rights.
