In the 19th century, there were women whose activities at home were now just confined to spending money and looking after kids. And this was the so-called cult of domesticity. Then against that, you've got women who say, no, you know, we don't want this domestic life. We want to be able to enter the market on the same terms as men. You know, I want a shot at being a barrister or a doctor. These tended to be more upper bourgeois women. But then there are women who push for women to have personhood in understood as being an atomized market participant on the same grounds as men.
