Input: What is an archaic view that held women back?, Context: As the Tokugawa period progressed more value became placed on education, and the education of females beginning at a young age became important to families and society as a whole. Marriage criteria began to weigh intelligence and education as desirable attributes in a wife, right along with physical attractiveness. Though many of the texts written for women during the Tokugawa period only pertained to how a woman could become a successful wife and household manager, there were those that undertook the challenge of learning to read, and also tackled philosophical and literary classics. Nearly all women of the samurai class were literate by the end of the Tokugawa period.
Output:

An archaic view that held women back is the belief that women's education should only focus on how they could become successful wives and household managers, rather than providing them with equal opportunities to learn and explore various subjects, like philosophical and literary classics.
