Historical context and significance of ending isolation from 1865 to present
Tracing important historical developments from 1865 till now, this essay examines the gradual ending of women's social, political, and economic isolation. Women's suffrage, the passage of the Equal Pay Act, and the widespread availability of oral contraceptives all contributed to greater equality for women. Though there still remain substantial disparities between men and women, the history of the twentieth century is nevertheless a history of greater rights for women.

Great Expectations and Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Both stories, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist, are one of escape for their characters. For Oliver, it is escape form his starvation and bondage. For Pip is it escape from his poverty and illiteracy. Both escape into another world. The world of an 'upper class'. Each has a huge number of similitudes as they have dissimilarity. Their greatest similarity is that both describe the miseries of the abused orphaned penniless waif growing up in poor surrounding, Oliver more than Pip. The distinction between both is that whilst Oliver is a description and rendering o poverty and the abuse of societal class discrimination at its worst, Great Expectations journey beyond that and has the mature character reflect on his experiences and discover that perhaps the poor man is no worse off – and often indeed better than the wealthy. In great Expectations it is Pip and the convict who turn out to be the heroes, whilst the upper class gentlemen are parodied. Great Expectation is, therefore, a parody on genteel British society.
Both books decry the abuse and injustice of a 'civilized' class system, particularly the injustice that is doled to the most vulnerable members of society. Great Expectations, however, goes beyond in questioning whether the wealthy are indeed better characters than the poor,simple and illiterate and it concludes with a determined 'no.'
