Aunt Alexandra..

It's kind of crazy to think about how far women have come in the world. It used to be that women did nothing but run the house, they wore tight-laced corsets & dresses every day, and had virtually NO rights. This thought came from when Aunt Alexandra told Scout that she should be wearing dresses, and that she shouldn't be doing anything she can't do in a dress. Scout is a little girl, and Aunt Alexandra is expecting her to behave like an adult.
This is just odd to me, and I've been thinking about it a lot....
Does Aunt Alexandra do this because it's how she behaves, and it's just her way of controlling things, or is this the norm for little girls back then?
