I support the statement that during the Market Revolution, women found greater freedom in the expanding cities than in rural and small-town America. The book “The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers: Sex and Culture in Nineteenth-Century New York” makes this statement all the more convincing. It is a book written by Amy Gilman Srebnick. The book reveals the job opportunities women had in the urban areas. They could choose among these jobs. Mary Rogers shows how to take advantage of the situation.
