For my fourth book I chose is Women in Ireland 1800-1918 written by Maria Luddy.
This book is all about women in Ireland, as the title suggests. It goes into how women were supposed to stay at home for their entire lives, only working if they were sold out by their family to do so, and every marriage was as a profit to the family instead of being out of love. They always had arranged marriages and were supposed to bear children and then send them off to work for money towards the family upkeep.
Women weren't really appreciated back then. Especially in such an unknown place lacking in advancement.
