ANSWER: Women in colonial times were expected to be wives and mothers. With few other career choices, educational opportunities beyond town schools were limited. Answers should discuss the types of schooling available to women at that time. The influences for change have been incremental. The creation of normal schools and publicly supported high schools were significant events in opening up career options for women. Answers could include a number of other influences, such as legislation (for example, Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments Act).
