During the Industrial Revolution, women played a crucial role in both the workforce and social reform movements. Many women entered factories, contributing to the labor force and significantly impacting production. However, they often faced poor working conditions and low wages. This experience led to the emergence of the women’s labor movement, advocating for better rights and conditions. Furthermore, women also became involved in the suffrage movement, demanding voting rights and equality. Their participation not only shaped the economy but also laid the groundwork for future gender equality movements.
