As late as 1800, women's only place was...

 

       As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home.The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable.Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home.This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men's names instead.

       Teaching was the first profession (职业) open to women soon after 1800.But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men.Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.

       Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous.Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”.Miss Nightingale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860.

       The invention of the typewriter (打字机) in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world.By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America.Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers.The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.

       There once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people.He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m.after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m.he would go for lunch.In the evening at 8:30 p.m.he closed his shop to complete his daily routine.

       However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time.Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m.would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.

       One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch.One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m.to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.

       Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time.His friends did not agree.As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted and a fight started.And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting.The now honest man explained the entire plan.
