Написать эссе на тему is it true that life 100 years ago was easier ?

This is a very complicated question for our generation to answer, because we didn’t know the real truth how was life 100 years ago.
But due to the information we have now from the internet and history books, we can make a decision.
I think that it was harder than we think, because people didn’t have this much of opportunities that our world give us now. 100 hundred years ago people had much more problems, especially with availability of food and education. There was problems with equality between men and women and it affected our generation opinion on that and we keep fighting to get more freedom.
