    A. Women had few legal rights and were barred from the court system.

    Here is why:

    During the 1800s, women had very little rights and were most definitely barred from the court system. Women could not vote, put property in their name, or even create any legal documents themselves, only a man could. They could not get a proper education, certain jobs, or equal pay, which greatly harmed many women who were suffering or single parents.

    During the mid-1800s, women finally decided to realize how unfair this really was. Many women's rights movements started to occur and even though men were not very fond of what was going on, it kept happening. Obviously, all of this work paid off as women finally gained their own rights, even the right to vote in 1920.
