How far has woman’s equality has progressed since the early 1800s:

Women were expected to know how to make clothes; although it is nice if a women knows how to make clothes, they’re not expected to, because of large clothing industries.

Women were expected to know how to cook; it is expected in some families for the female to know how to cook, but it’s generally not expected, there are lots of food and restaurant companies where you can buy food from.

Men made big choices like moving, and women were expected to listen and comply; but , it’s not like this anymore, they can be independent from their husbands, and they’re only expected to help out each other, in time of need.

In the 1800s, you were expected to spend as little money as possible, because these marriages didn’t mean much to the persons in it; but today, in most marriages people share their wealth, because it is common for both roles to be providers.

Women were expected to take care of domestic activities; this hasn’t changed much, 65% of man do domestic activities compared to woman’s wopping 85% percent.

Women did not marry anyone in the lower class, it was something nobody did; even though I didn’t find a source about this, couple will marry no matter if they’re lower or higher class than each other, there is no proof that that they care anymore.
