    The three examples are:

    1. The fact that a woman was always under the guardianship of a male, i. e. either a father, a husband or a son

    2. The wife did not have any inheritance rights, just like a minor might not

    3. She was mostly confided to domestic work and could not earn a living

    Explanation:

    For most of history, according to the author, women were treated as minors, who had little say of their own. Their affairs were managed by other people, what they wear, where they get married and many other things.

    There were also certain restrictions placed on them by the society and culture of the time. They could not earn a living and there were no opportunities for either employment or a simple education.

    All this made them 'perpetual minors.
