         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>universal education (everyone should have education). The first document (document 2) lists universal education. Women's rights are listed in document 3. </p></li><li><p>Giving women more independence and providing education to more people than men. The first document mentions "allowing minorities to be part of legislation" and also talks about this regarding women being able to step into politics in document 5. </p></li><li><p>The issues that they are arguing against are gender roles and progressiveness, which means they are trying to make a change. In the fourth document, he states that the gender roles are wrong, everyone should be treated equally, and the idea of superiority is holding us back. </p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>It was mostly focused on the religion as well as huge discussions around who should have power in society, affecting inequality. </p></li><li><p>One of the ways we can solve these issues is having a clear separation of church and state, "A complete separation of church and state, including in this removal of the Bishops from the position they at present occupy as legislators in the House of Lords". Another way to solve the inequality is to focus and allow women to speak up against the things that bother them, something constantly undermined. " ...it is accepted voluntarily that women make no complaint...". </p></li><li><p>A connection we saw between the documents was that there was a demand for change, for woman to become more recognized in society. Though there are set backs due to men not seeing it as a higher issue, keeping woman's voices less impactful. "All women have brought up in the belief that their ideal character is the very opposite to that of man". </p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>They are most concerned with religion and state and the suffrage of women as well as their ability active politics. They were also concerned about children being represented in legislature and being taught correctly. They also had an emphasis on freedom of thought for people. </p></li><li><p>Charles talked about adding and taking away laws surrounding owning land and also taking away rules of running for office if you don't have a certain belief. (Like incorporating your beliefs.) Annie talked about how women were raised to intelligent and smart but doesn't apply to when they become a spouse and are older.</p><ul><li><p>Annie: "All my eager, passion and enthusiasm, so attractive to men in a young girl were doubtless incompatible with 'the solid comfort of a wife.'</p></li><li><p>Charles: The abolition of all disabilities and disqualifications consequences upon the holding of rejection of any particular speculative opinion.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>We still see a lot of expectations placed on women that they should take care of their children, husbands, and the house when they are a spouse but still told as children to be passionate and have goals in life. </p><ul><li><p>Using the same quote from Annie as above can solidify this point too. </p></li></ul></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1) These Victorian middle-class reformers are concerned with labor laws for working class for working class people and women's rights/suffrage.</p><p><br></p><p>2) They propose to fix these problems through the education of women and allowing them to vote. An example of this is "All wines are brought up from the very earliest years in the belief that their idea of character is the very opposite to that of men; not self-will, and government by self-control, but submission, and yielding to the control of others." They also want minorities to be fairly represented in government and not be taken advantage of by the companies. They want fairer pay and less hours. An example is, "Minorities may be fairly represented in the legislative chambers."</p><p><br></p><p>3) The connection between the issues that they're interested in and Victorian middle-class values and gender roles is that they were interested in giving women right's and education. The value and gender roles were that society expected women to child rear and work domestically in the home, and they thought it was against nature for women to be educated and enter the workforce. An example is "To admit women into active participation in politics will certainly be to increase disorder and add fuel to the fire of strife"</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1) Charles Bradlaugh was concerned about religion and its negative effects on the population, and John Steward Mill was concerned about the subjugation of women.</p><p><br></p><p>2)Charles wants to have a complete separation of church and state, and John wanted women's' suffrage and for men to not have legal dominance over women.</p><p><br></p><p>3) social hierarchy and norms were typically justified with religion, which pressured gender rolls and a hierarchy between men and women, Charles argues that it is the religion that is causing this and that there needs to be a separation of church and state, as well as removing religion from every day life. At the time, the Victorian era social hierarchy was male dominated and would put women below men, and John argued that women suffered as a result and that they should be given more rights and be equal to men.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>Two of the main issues they discussed throughout the text were how women were treated poorly and didn't have equal rights and ability as men did. And poor living conditions for workers and the poor, including crowded housing and poor sanitation. </p></li><li><p>They often talk about social reformation and educating the public better, When Annie was talking about her experience she said "That no more fatal blunder can be made than to train a girl to womanhood in ignorance of all life duties and burdens." This shows how vital it is to make sure everyone is informed. In Document two of the text they talked about raising taxes on people who had accumulated more money aka the rich, and lower taxes for labor workers allowing them to fix their overcrowding and poor sanitation issues.</p></li><li><p>The gender roles were very apparent throughout the text and how poorly women were treated at the time, they were automatically put into the role of the stay at home take care of everyone role, alongside with inequality being shown in rights such as not having the right to vote. The poor living conditions of the working class connect back to the victorian middle-class values because they speak about having stable living with a stable family which is not the case for most of these labor working families.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>They are concerned with gender roles, particularly with women, and what they were or were not allowed to do. They also were concerned with the poor living conditions and working conditions for the working class.</p></li><li><p>Women started to raise their voices through writing, petitions and movements to seek their rights such as education, employment and the right to vote. To solve the poor working and living conditions, reformers began to create laws that would limit the hours and amount of work that children and women were allowed to do in the factories as well as laws to improve the housing and education crisis.</p></li><li><p>Both issues are connected through the gender roles issues cause they both revolve around women and their social class as well as their lack of rights. Additionally, they also both reflect the crisis that the Victorian middle-class community faced. Document 8 is a good example of this concept and portrays where these issues intersect.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. The issues that these reformers are most concerned with more autonomy in the family unit, seeking financial independence, and better welfare for their children. </p><p>2. They seek to create more equal access to education, all children should have the same rudimentary English education. (Document 2) The document suggest diverting more resources to have the education system run by the state instead of churches. This source also states that women are put down in the marital structure because of their lack of education, their role in the household is devalued. Women at this time were not expected to get an education, gender roles dictated their goals, their expectation was to raise a family. Document 3 describes the inequal partnership created because of a lack of education offered to Annie Besant.</p><ol start="3"><li><p>Middle class values and gender roles intersect over the issue of creating better representation for voters through education, and the access to education improves democratic processes. Women's say in the education of their children is also an important way to change current oppressive gender roles. This is explored in (Document 5.)</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>The reformers two main concerns were about the topic of women's education and the abuse of women in Victorian style patriarchies. </p><p><br></p></li><li><p>In the fist document Charles Bradlaugh states he will support any policy as long as it will help to create a system that "shall secure to each child the opportunity of acquiring at least the rudiments of a sound English education". An education was also the solution for abuse as they believed an education would make them less reliant on men.</p><p><br></p></li></ol><p>3. The topics are tied together because of the movement for reform of the Victorian society allowed for the idea of reforms for women to be brought in as well.</p>]]></description>
