The years 1750 to 1900 was a very revolutional time all over the world. These years still affect us to this day. The Industrial Revolution was an increase of production as result of many new technologies that made the production of goods easier. During the industrial revolution, something that stayed the same is the brutal working conditions that women and children went through. The Industrial revolution changed children's opportunity to gain an education. The Industrial Revolution also changed the role of women in society.
During the years 1750-1900, one thing that stayed the same is the work conditions in workplaces. For example, most women and children worked in unsanitary places with smoke everywhere and worked a countless amount of hours. Many factory workers came out of work with permanently spots on the face that were black and came from the dangerous smoke.
But since everyone wanted to be working to help their families, people didn’t dare to make an attempt to end these terrible working

conditions. If more people from the family worked than that meant more money for the family. Children were paid as little as 10 cents an hour. Women were paid about half of what the Men were paid. Many factory workers came out of work with permanently spots on the face that were black and came from the dangerous smoke. One change in the industrial revolution is the status of the women. At first, most women depended on their spouse for money to buy things. But during the Industrial Revolution, women were able to work at places like factories to be able to gain their own wages. Even though the working conditions were very poor, it was much better than nothing. This was one of the first stepping stones for women in their quest to gain more and more rights for women. Also prior to the revolution, Women were expected to stay at home to watch the kids. By 1875, Women weren’t expected to stay at home and watch their kids, instead they working, and so were their kids. So at the beginning of the revolution women either depended on the men in the family to acquire things or worked in the family agricultural system, but by the end of the revolution they become more self-dependent and earned their own wages. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, it was very tough for children to gain an education because it cost money and not many families couldn’t afford an education. The Industrial Revolution caused more and more children to have an opportunity to gain an education. During the Industrial revolution, many families put their children to work in factories to help families with financial struggles. In 1833, the Factory Act was made to affect child workers, this act required all child workers to take two hours out of their day to work to get an education. Unions were created to give an opportunity for poor children to attend school. The British Government, helped all children gain an accessible education by giving money to charities and writing more laws that made gaining an education a rule. Then as years went by, even poor children were to attend school when the Ragged Schools Union set up poor children to go to school. Then towards the end of the revolution all children were to attend school. From the beginning of the revolution to the end of it, children’s education change drastically. The changes women went through in the Industrial revolution can be compared to the role of women during the French revolution.
In the beginning of the French Revolution, women played a small part of the political movement. But as time went by, Women joined political debates and formed groups to help improve the rights of women. But towards the end of the revolution, women’s rights got worse because Olympe de Gouges, one of the leaders of the fight for women's rights, was killed for making a declaration saying that women should have equal rights as men. These events caused women’s rights to go backward in France.These two changes and one continuity affected the Industrial revolution in big ways. The two changes are child education, and the status of women.The single continuity is the condition of work for the workers. All of these things had a large contribution of the industrial revolution which was when the production of goods were produced faster and
easier.
In the early 19th century, America was experiencing an increase in economic, political, and social changes. One of the mass changes happened during the Market Revolution. What this revolution did for Americans that lived in a more rural environment was basically make things and traded them themselves. They would raise crops and animals to be traded or sold for food, clothing, etc. Factories in the North flourished and the US became more industrialized as people trade money for necessities or wants. The Market Revolution gave women the role of importance in their family life. Women became the new leading member of their family because they were the ones who kept the family together and raised the children and prepare them for adulthood in America. Although the Industrial Revolution brought positive changes to America it also shifted the lifestyles of people and their family.
Industrial capitalism transformed greatly in a century; however work continued to decline with the advancement of time. Therefore, work was better in 1750 then it was in 1850. " The worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself" (134.).
The industrial revolution was in the late 1700s and early 1800s, it started in England and caused mass production. Certain impacts that were short term where the population boom, and urbanization. Most of the population was the working class and they worked in factories and mines and didn’t get a lot of pay. The industrial revolution resulted in the suffering of the working class in the short-term due to the inhuman working conditions and child labor.
The Second Industrial Revolution had a major impact on women's lives. After being controlled fro so long women were experiencing what it was like to live an independent life. In the late nineteenth century women were participating in a variety of experiences, such as social disabilities confronted by all women, new employment patterns, and working class poverty and prostitution. These experiences will show how women were perceived in the Second Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution was a time of great change and increased efficiency. No more would be goods be produced by sole means of farming and agriculture, but now by the use of machinery and factories. Technology was beginning to increase along with the food supply as well as the population. However, this increase in population would greatly impact the social aspect of that time. Urbanization was becoming much more widespread. Cities were becoming overwhelmingly crowded and there was an increase in disease as well as harsh child labor. Although child labor would be reduced somewhat due to unions, the Industrial Revolution still contained both it’s positive and negative results.
The Industrial revolution was a turning point for the earth and humans, every aspect of human’s life and life styles were changed dramatically. It’s due to the revolution that we ca have so many types of clothing and we can easily talk to people in different countries. There has also become an increased wealth in the western world.
During the period of antebellum Georgia, the Industrial Revolution began to take place. Meaning, wealth, labor, and top notch crops became important. In result of this, the need for slaves and their distinct skills increased. Understanding that the plantation owners had one goal only, which is to produce efficient crops that will encourage increased profit; one would say gender was set aside during labor that interfered with crop production. Crop production and quality were a main priority, and owners did not care what it took to reach their goal amount, or to have the best crop in the south. It is argued that femininity and gender roles did not exist during this period of labor. Labor was not based on gender,

Many of people today feel trapped inside their homes, just how the women of Pre-Industrial Europe felt. Working day in and day out inside the homes, just to keep the family together, and make a little money on the side, these women were an integral part of Pre-Industrial families. Not only were the women important to Pre-Industrial European families, but so were the households. Much of the money was made in the households, and this is where families either succeeded or failed. The household and women of Pre-Industrial Europe played an integral role in the economy of the families, and more importantly, the women of these households kept them running smoothly. Without either of these important aspects of life in Pre-Industrial Europe, it is safe to say that the families would have collapsed, due to a lack of organization and structures. Pre-Industrial Europe, in which the women and the household were “the factories” per se, due to the income they generated, was much different from the Europe we know today. Leading into the Industrialization of Europe beginning in the late 1700's and lasting through the early 1800's, the household played an integral role in the family’s income. Without the household, the families would literally collapse, due to a lack of organization and stability. Within these important family sub-units, there was one married couple, their children, the family’s servants, and in some cases, depending upon the region of Europe, there were grandparents, aunts and uncles. Not only did the father and servants of the house work, but also the women and children. Also, in the case of there being more than one generation of family in a single household, depending upon the region of Europe, the grandparents, aunts, and uncles would also work within the house. Once the children of these households reached a certain age, usually the early teens, they were sent off to work in a house as a servant. These servants were different then the servants of today, as they worked for room, board, and food, not waiting on the family. Once they started to generate income, the teens would save up the money necessary to begin their own family. However, there were the few exceptions; teens that did not work as servants, and ended up marrying into an existing household. This however,...
One of the major problems that were occurring, were the harsh conditions of Industrialization in the work industry. Workers fought for higher wages and decent working conditions. However, this reform was mainly focused on women and children. The restriction ...
Throughout history, women of all classes have often been subordinate to men, adopting positions of companionship and support rather than taking leadership roles. In the 19th century England, a patriarchal society, presumed that “females were naïve, fragile, and emotionally weak creatures who could not exist independently of a husband or a father’s wise guidance.” It was until the Industrial Revolution that lower class women were able to find jobs in factories and become more independent from their households and husbands. Even then, their jobs were harsh and they were often underpaid compared to their male counterparts. Emma Paterson, the leader of the Women’s Trade Union once said, “Not only are women frequently paid half or less than half for doing work as well and as quickly as men, but skilled women whose labour requires delicacy of touch, the result of long training as well as thoughtfulness receive from 11 shillings to 16 or 17 shilling a week, while the roughest unskilled labour of a man is worth at least 18 shillings.” The employers of Industrial Revolution mistreated and abused lower class women to such an extent that middle class women were beginning to become aware of their suffering. Girls were sent to factories at very early ages and many lacked proper education. These events led to middle class women fight for laws protecting women employees and women suffrages. Middle class women led strikes and revolts against employers as they struggled to bring fairness between men and women. These feminists were the first women that fought for women’s rights and were responsible for equality that men and women have today.
The Industrial Revolution was a time of great change in the world and changed the way many products were manufactured. Originating in England and Great Britain, its effects spread across the globe and influenced the way people lived and worked and lead to the modern world known today. While it did not always have positive effects, through imperialism, Britain’s Industrial Revolution brought about technological innovations that transformed the world and its economies.
The French Revolution started from 1789 to 1975. It was a very important time in history and it changed the world politically, economically, and socially. It especially changed the lives of women and the role they played in France. The change that took over France made women of different classes and to rethink about their roles in society. Many people don’t realize this, but women played a very important role in the events throughout the Revolution.
