Abstract
This paper will deal with the attitude of early eighteen century towards women and their roles in society. In this paper, I try to present some of what it is possible to discover about the actual status of women in 18th century. The 18th century is a very sign significant period in order to analyse how the society at that time dealt with women. In 18th century, women lived in an age characterised by gender inequality. it was the man dominated society. All the power and pleasure were only for men. Women passed their lives as dependent on their man. Some social historians have depicted “woman’s place” as very low, indeed: with few legal and economic rights or even receiving little respect, women can be seen as oppressed victims of a patriarchal society. They were seen as, docile and domestic creature. Women didn’t have any freedom to choose their life partner and their profession. Education didn’t mean for women. In this patriarchy society, women were only eligible or accomplished to opt profession of midwife, domestic servant. I have also tried to examine different elements affected the lives of women such as their education, legal rights, marriage, social status etc.
