Where did women first gain economic freedom

In the UK, women began to be given access to trade unions (the Congress of the trade-unions fundamentally resolved this issue in the year 1889). Women's secondary schools were being established, initially exclusively for girls from wealthy families. In the second half of the XIX century, women in Great Britain had access to the profession of the teacher and later to other professions. In the year 1858, women received the right of divorce, in 1870-1900-a number of concessions in the field of civil law. Women taxpayers received a limited right to participate in municipal elections in 1869.
