In the 17th century rich women normally were taught at home by a tutor, they were taught subjects like Latin, French, Needlework and they were also taught how to look pretty and how to play the piano and other musical instruments. When they became older their parents decided who they were going to marry and the family of the woman should pay a dowry to the parents of the future husband. Rich women wouldn't normally get a job, they could just stay at home and look after the family and tell the servants what to do. Poor women did not go to school at all; they just looked after their home, children and prepared meals or worked in fields. They didn't get paid much and had to work hard.
In the 19th century rich women were educated at home and learned pretty much the same as in the 17th century. They were taught how to play the piano, speak French, entertain guests and look attractive. After 1870 it was made compulsory for all women to have education. However, girls didn't learn the same subjects as boys. Girls learnt subjects like laundry, cookery, needlework and housewifery skills. Rich women did not work, but ran their home with the help of their servants, after 1870 some women could become teachers and others could work as secretaries or clerks. So, women could work but there was a condition. At that time any woman had to retire when she got married.
In the 20th century, when World War I started, women could leave their underpaid jobs and could get jobs at factories because all men had gone off to the war, so women worked in the factories, making armours for the war.
When the war was over, women had to go back to their old jobs and they didn't earn as much money as they were used to earn. Later a typewriting machine was invented and jobs as secretaries became available for women. Some women became teachers. Women were now allowed to vote and some women got involved in politics.
Women started to wear different clothes, they did not wear corsets any more, they wore short dresses, even trousers.
To my mind, the role of women has changed quite a lot. I think all changes that happened in the 20th century were good, because women became to be treated more equally and it launched the processes of emancipation.

ПЕРЕКЛАД
У 17-му столітті багатим жінкам зазвичай викладали будинку домашні вчителі, їм викладали такі предмети, як латинь, французька мова, рукоділля, їх також навчали, як добре виглядати, грати на фортепіано та інших музичних інструментах. Коли вони підростали, їх батьки вирішували, за кого вони повинні вийти заміж; сім'я жінки повинна була платити придане батьків чоловіка. Багаті жінки зазвичай не працювали, вони могли тільки залишатися вдома і піклуватися про сім'ю, вказуючи слугам, що робити. Бідні жінки не ходили в школу і не мали освіти; вони тільки дбали про свій будинок, дітей, готували їжу або працювали на полях. Їм платили мало, а працювати потрібно було багато.
У 19-му столітті забезпечені жінки зазвичай отримували освіту вдома, їм викладали практично те ж саме, що і жінкам сімнадцятого століття. Їх навчали грати на фортепіано, говорити по-французьки, привабливо виглядати і розважати гостей. Після 1870 року освіту для жінок стало обов'язковим. Дівчатка і хлопчики вчили різні предмети. Дівчата вивчали пральне справу, кулінарію, рукоділля і навички домашнього господарства і т. Д.. Багаті жінки не працювали, але завдяки допомозі своїх слуг, управляли домашнім господарством. Після 1870 року деякі жінки стали викладачами, інші могли працювати секретарями або клерками. Так що жінки мали право на роботу, але з однією умовою - якщо жінка виходила заміж, їй доводилося звільнятися з роботи.
У 20-му столітті, коли почалася Перша світова війна, жінки могли залишити свої низькооплачувані робочі місця і отримати роботу на фабриках, так як всі чоловіки пішли на війну, тому на фабриках працювали одні жінки, виробляючи зброю для війни.
Коли закінчилася війна, жінки повинні були повернутися на свої старі робочі місця, де вони вже не заробляли стільки грошей, скільки звикли заробляти. Пізніше була винайдена друкарська машинка, так що для жінок стала доступна робота секретаря. Деякі жінки стали викладачами. Жінки тепер мали право голосу, з'явилися перші жінки-президенти. Деякі жінки займаються політикою. Жінки почали носити інший одяг, вони більше не носять корсети, вони носять короткі сукні, навіть штани.
По-моєму, роль жінок дуже сильно змінилася. Я думаю, що всі зміни, які відбулися в 20-м столітті були позитивні, тому що жінки стали розглядатися як рівні чоловікам і почався процес емансипації.
