Confucianism
Religion
In the past, women were often given secondary roles to men. Confucianism, for example, made women almost completely reliable on men. Women’s feet were bound, so they needed men to move them around. They couldn’t own property or run any businesses. Later on, women still had the gender-based discrimination. However, between 1750 and 1914, during the industrial revolution, women’s social, economic, and political roles changed significantly, although many things stayed the same, in the Industrialized World.
