Discuss the spirit of individualism among both men and women in city?
The spirit of individualism:
(i)The city no doubt encouraged a new spirit of individualism among both men and women, and a freedom from the collective values that were a feature of the smaller rural communities.
(ii)But men and women did not have equal access to this new urban space. As women lost their industrial jobs and conservative people railed against their presence in public spaces, women were forced to withdraw into their homes.
(iii)The public space became increasingly a male preserve, and the domestic sphere was seen as the proper place for women.
(iv)Most political movements of the nineteenth century, such as Chartism, a movement demanding the vote for all adult males and the 10-hour movement, imiting hours of work in factories, mobilised large numbers of men.
(v)Only gradually did women come to participate in political movements for suffrage that demanded the right to vote for women, or for married women’s rights to property, from the 1870s.
