During the Industrial Revolution, the role of women evolved significantly as they entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers. Many women worked in factories, textile mills, and as domestic servants, contributing vital labor to the rapidly industrializing economy. While their work often involved long hours in harsh conditions, it also sparked early movements for workers' rights and gender equality. Additionally, women began advocating for education and suffrage, paving the way for future reforms. The dual burden of home and work highlighted gender inequalities and ultimately fueled social change, leading to greater involvement in public life and reformist movements.
