Through writing this story, what do you think the author was trying to suggest about life for women during this time? Please connect from different readings

The author shows that women were often controlled and not allowed to make their own choices. The narrator was told what to do by her husband and isn’t taken seriously. This connects to Much madness is divenst scene because Emily suggests that society can call someone mad cause they dont follow what society wants them to do
