How has research been manipulated to "prove" women are unsuited for education and work in the 1800s and early 1900s?

What will be an ideal response?


Suggested Response: In the 1800s studies warned women that only 28% of college-educated women would marry. A book by a professor at Harvard's medical school alleged that the rigors of a college education created a conflict between the brain and uterus, resulting in infertility. Scientists who studied brain size reported that white males had the largest brains with white women's brains being far smaller. In the 1930s and 1940s studies were used to "prove" that menstruation reduced women's ability to be effective at work; however this conclusion was reversed during WWII when women were needed on the factory floors.
