I am reading a novel written in the mid 1800's. There is a female character who believes that women are inferior to men. I know that women were fighting for rights at the time. In the U.S., the Seneca Falls Convention happened about the time the book was written. How common was it for women to oppose the fight for women's rights and buy into the sexist claims of male superiority?

Edit: I don't mean this post in a sexist way. Even in 2018, I've encountered a couple women who believed women should be in the home raising kids. I was wondering if because of lifetimes of oppression and propaganda, some women in the 1800's bought into those views of male superiority.
