Post Civil War Event
Women have been looked down upon by men ever since civilization was created. They were always viewed as mothers and house-wives. They were never given the oppurtunity to received an education or a job. It was always believed that men were superior to women, when it came to work and money.

In Twain's novel, women's discrimination isn't displayed as much as black discrimination is, but the women that are seen in the novel were all house-wives. They aren't seen as doctors or as any other occupation. This form of discrimination as well as black discrimination displays the time period that this novel was written in.
