It was in the 18th century that micro-organisms (viruses and bacteria) were discovered, but it was not until the late 19th century that the experiments of Lazzaro Spallanzani and Louis Pasteur disagreed with the spontaneous generation argument conclusively, crediting the germ theory and Robert Koch 's discovery of micro-organisms as the cause of disease

In the early 1800’s many social reforms laid the foundation for major movements that perpetuated after the Civil War and into the 20th century.

In the initial part of the 19th century, conservative notions were more pronounced in Europe than any other century. In 1815, conservative ideas were substantially expressed in the Congress

the late 19th and early 20th century was a byproduct of the development of nationalism, the expansion of industrialization, and shift toward Liberal values.

Gilman’s audiences in the 19th century were bizarre to read such a book like Herland. Nobody really expected to read a novel about a world of only women and given male abilities. Women’s lives in the 19th century were not always as easy. They faced inequality, abuse, expectations and stereotypes.
