The correct answer is True.
Explanation
During the nineteenth century (the 1800s), women were victims of repression by society and men. For example, during this time, women could not dress as they wanted, vote, divorce, work or study because it was believed women's role was to be wives and mothers. Due to this, back then it was rare women were lawyers or doctors.
