Even if she could, what would she do? Men were positive that no women could deal with a job outside her home. This was such a w     accepted idea that when the famous Brontë sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (伪装) themselves by signing their books w  men’s names.
Teaching was the first profession (职业) open to women soon after 1800. But even so, that was not an e   profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to a    women.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became f    . Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the s     and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.

By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even m     to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted.
