The men were considered greater than women in this society and ran the families.
Women had a lot more of a harder time than men because they had to run the home, cook meals and raise children. Women were also treated unequally because they could not vote or hold public office.
Marriages were arranged for the girls at age 14 by the family.
There was a lot of agriculture. Most people made their money from farming, and only a few people lived in the towns.
