The industrial revolution had a mass impact on both women and children. For the first time in history, women were meant to have a role other then a house Mom. They had to go and work in factories. This obviously means that the children were left without parents, or were forced to work in sweatshops. These shops had extremely poor and unworkable conditions with little to no pay along with it. This eventually leads to child labor laws, but up to that point kids were being forced into this field of work.
I agree with you Joe! The industrial revolution had a horrible effect on women and children! Women and children were forced to work in this horrible conditions- I can't even imagine! however, i'm glad that all those laws were put into place because of this devastating time period.
ReplyDeleteI also agree! Women and children had it extremely rough during these times. Being put through the horrible conditions and forced to work is absolutely horrible. I could never imagine being in their shoes. It is an interesting yet sad topic.
ReplyDeleteI agree, women and children went through tough times like the terrible working conditions and hardly any pay for it. The industrial revolution did have a big impact on these women and children, and most of the women couldn't have being a mother as their top priority, because they were forced to go work. The children would also be forced to work as soon as they possibly could.
