In this article he argues that women in the antebellum period were assigned the role of a holy and pious women who would be mainly responsible for taking care of their children and home and men would be the bread winner and that men feared those women who worked as laborers because they were taking away men’s job and that this was used to differentiate between working class women and middle-class women.
