Description

Must show substantial reflection of the student’s personal ideas in conjunction with the reading topics. Essays should be two pages in length; double spaced 12 pt. font. APA format, no plagiarism and no copy and paste

Let's talk about the place of women in Chicago. We have talked about their roles (or lack thereof) in Chicago's creation. There were few businesses that were directed towards women or families, as Chicago was a trade city, heavy with industry. By the time of the World's Fair, women are everywhere. Another thing to think about is the large amount of prostitution that was prevalent in Chicago. Prostitution, though thought to be immoral, still served as a form of work for women. In combination with the 1893 Fair, business was likely booming, and women were being drawn to the city. What are some things you recall from class, the video, or the reading about the female population increases from the 1860s to 1893? Discuss the events listed above and how they relate to each other.
