Solution

Children and women were prohibited from reading novels because :

  • Novels fostered indiviualism and freedom amongst women. Men feared that it may affect their dominance.
  • Women were usually expected to be engaged in household work and reading was not considered as a part of their job.
  • Novels contained even some bold subjects which were considered unsuitable for children.
