The British Women and the Colonized Women

Women during the British empire were always outnumbered by the men however, the women of the empire decided to travel to other sites where they found homes and had other opportunities that Britain could not give them. The numbers of women increased rapidly. They were encouraged by the British to travel in colonies because it was presented as being a way to "protect the social hierarchy of the colonial world, while preserving British racial purity."http://chnm.gmu.edu/wwh/modules/lesson8/lesson8.php?s=0. The women of Britain and the colonized women did have a few problem/differences with each other. The British women felt the empire gave them opportunities they could not have gotten in Britain. Nevertheless, around the 20th century the women were banned to work in specific areas in the empire. Although British women did disagree with the colonized women, they did try to have communication and make things right by education and through medicine. They would call the colonized women their "sisters" but they did not think the women of India as needing to be protected in any sisterly way.
