Marriage Equality - 19th Century Marriage Equality - 19th Century
At one time, prior to the 19th century, the typical marriage was essentially an economic partnership, in which husband and wife worked together in interlocking work-roles in a joint enterprise, with well-defined jobs for the male and female partner. With the advent of industrialization in the 19th century, men began to engage in waged work outside the home, taking on the role of breadwinner; wives became homemakers, labouring without wages within the confines of the home and economically dependent on their husbands. These gender roles, although referred to as natural by those who sought to preserve this particular configuration of marriage, were in fact short-lived. (Information Provided by EGALE Canada) | |
