In the 17th and 18th centuries, women were said to be imaginary in society. Women were seen physically, but not heard out loud. Being invisible was considered normal to women. They had little freedom, no voice, and certainly no rights. As times changed throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, women became more and more involved with political, economic, and social aspects in society. Rights and opportunities of women have improved and are still continuing to improve today.
