Which statement best summarizes the working lives of middle-class women by 1900?

By 1900, many middle-class women who were single earned wages outside the home, often as teachers, clerks, or nurses. Marriage usually brought stronger expectations that a middle-class woman focus on home and family, so it is too broad to say married women generally worked outside the home. And “many” is more accurate than saying all single women did.
