Women In The Industrial Revolution

In addition to this, unions of the time also continued this movement as predominantly male trade unions began to accept female members. (Fieldes, 2013) This left-wing source possesses bias that places disproportionate emphasis on the importance of unionisation, yet still remains relevant. However, this movement towards liberation experienced widespread traditionalist opposition, one such man writing to the Argus, “Would they [women] not be better fitted for jobs too often held by men in the city shops?” (Guthrie, 1941, pg 7) Despite aforementioned opposition, the movement for equal pay and opportunity for women flourished. Women were greatly liberated from previous roles during World War Two as their increased financial equality allowed for greater freedoms, including the foundation of auxiliary

They wanted to end child labor, thus they would strike several times against sweatshops. Many women set up unions separate from men because men believed that they should not be working and they believed that women undercut wage levels. In 1869 a massive labor organization in the United States who was unskilled and skilled workers unionized to end child labor and convict labor. They fought for shorter hours and much higher wages. During their strikes they came in conflict with a lot of anarchist, which led to violence.

Though women were able to see some growth in the amount of equality they received, the hope for a truly equal society diminished somewhat as the men started to return from war. Women saw some of these liberties being taken away. Emboldened by the taste of freedom and of free will, the suffrage movement began to change the attitude towards the traditional “Motherly” roles that women were expected to fill. Many women fought to, and succeeded in, keeping their jobs, and over 1.2 million women had permanent jobs,as opposed to the measly 600 thousand before the war. The many female led organizations of this time were directly linked to the suffrage movement, and the fight for equal rights became a hotly discussed and controversial

1849 to 1910 was an important time for America. Reforms were happening all across the board, affecting workers, African Americans, and children. It was also very crucial for women’s rights – voting rights in particular. This period saw the beginning of the women’s suffrage movement; however, it also marked the start of anti-suffrage. During this time, society was divided with one of the simplest and most complicated questions of the era: what is the proper role of women?

Arguably fueled by the economic necessity of many women, the Industrial Revolution was an episode in history which can be credited for the recognition of modern cities today. Though the Industrial Revolution ushered in an era of innovative machinery, increased work production, and a society which was more interconnected than ever, the Industrial Revolution for the most part, had very limited benefits on the lives of women. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, mass-production factories were singular. However, in the late eighteenth century, a period of major industrialization blossomed, resulting in the mechanization of agriculture, textile manufacturing, and a revolution in transportation. The factory systems developed during this time period

Before the revolution men think that women are nothing other than their property who were only also supposed to do housework and raise children. Men had been suspended from participation in public life for a while because they went to the war, which allow women to participate with a social activities for their own country. Subsequently, women work in a factories, support the American soldiers by providing them uniform, resources, and provisions. Moreover, some women fight with british so,they can boycott good taxed, which affected the course of the war. All of this shows that women started to get more

In the Gilded age or the start of the industrial era, women and children were forced to leave their homes and try and get jobs in factories that were fit for them. This era created many new job opportunities than before. The number of women who now had actual jobs had increased drastically. Even though all these jobs had opened up women were only seen fit to do small tasks such as desk jobs that require little knowledge and skill to be able to do. Women forced into the work force tended to be poorer struggling individuals whose children were bound to labor as well.

During the Industrialization of the Industrial Revolution with progress came poverty. The upper class for example business tycoons/owners became wealthier and the people that worked for them the lower class for example most immigrants new to the country or country folk moving to the city became more in debt to poverty. Tycoons became money hungry and indulged themselves in money and became invested into that resulted in safety violations. The workers becoming in need for more money they worked longer and harder to make ends meets and took their children out of school to earn more money for the family. Just like always women helped build up the society during the Industrial Revolution for example Jane Addams she began the Hull House Movement in which she created a place for homeless women and children to stay while providing education and opportunity by creating employment bureau for them.

There were different parts of the world that treated women differently that in some places still continues till this day. Women were treated according

Women play a vital role for the human population. Although women populate the earth with humans, women have little rights. During the 1500s and twentieth century, women had little rights in labor and productivity. Women often resided as housewives; caring for children, cooking and cleaning. Often, females did not receive proper education and forced to work in unsafe and sanitary working conditions, such as sweat factories or field work.

City life was not the best. Cities were usually overcrowded, most immigrants lived in tenement housing. But soon urbanization picked up, and it got better, when neighborhoods formed, and people could breathe better with more space. America 's economy was and still is described as capitalism. And with the invention of the light bulb, the assembly line by Henry Ford, and the automobile, Mass production was able to support the rising economy of the U.S.

Before it truly began, men and women were working inside of their household. When it started, women were put into factories and it changed their whole lifestyle. They were used to working in their house, cooking and cleaning and taking care of everyone. Women were always seen as less powerful than men which just enabled factory owners to take advantage from the start. They were used to doing jobs from the demands of others.

The world came across with lots of revolutions in terms of politic, social, and economic and so on. One of the most impressive and well-established revolution among these revolutions was industrial revolution. In fact, industrial revolution is a term which opened a new era in the world. As it related in the book of Charles More (2002) “Understanding the Industrial Revolution”; industrial revolution is different from the other revolutions, while others happened sudden or continued with a few years, industrial revolution was an unending process and it did not happened suddenly. During this unending process, women were affected both from negative and positive sides.

The Indutrial Revolution began in Britain in the 1700’s and spread throughout different parts of world. During this peiriod, vast amounts of people started moving from rural areas to urban areas looking for better job opportunities. Prior to the Industrail Revoliution, manuafcturing was often done in people’s homes. Slowly indutrialization established new machinery including the devlopment of the steam engine along with iron and textile industries. This was a great advancemt for the United States.

Now women are lawyers, engineers, mechanics, computer programmers, and other jobs that have been primarily male dominated for years. Although sexism has been a key problem in the working industry, as evidenced by putting women in lower paying jobs, women today are putting an end by joining the women's movement pushing this issue into the mainstream media and increasing the worlds awareness on an issue that has been around for centuries. Although there were no movements specifically for women's rights to work there were movements for women's rights as a whole. As history tells, men did not believe women had the
