Women Evolution

How did the early modern political and social revolutions change the role of women in society? During the early days of industrialization, the main activity of workingwomen was known as “domestic servitude”. If these women had small children they would commonly find work at home like, laundry, sewing, or taking in lodgers. Despite that both parents were working, the wages were so low that most families struggled to earn enough income to provide for basic needs. Many industrialists encouraged workers to bring their children with them to work in the factories since they were quite cheap, no matter the age or how dangerous it may be. Lower class women in the country were usually married to farmers. They would work just as hard

One of the first women to argue that women acquired all rights that Locke had granted to men, including education and participation in political life, was Mary Wollstonecraft, an English writer. Numerous French women assumed that they would achieve equal rights after the revolution. However, it did not bring the right to vote or contribute in public affairs. Since the gender roles did not change much at then end of the revolution, social reformers pressed for women's rights in Europe and North America. Americans like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B.

Women accomplished this in several different ways, using different tactics and strategies, of course they was a always a struggle as men felt superior to women, but the women fought and obtained their long-awaited-for equal rights. Women demanded equality, so no matter how far they had to take the suffrage movements, they would cross their limits. With political and economic dominance came control in cultural and artistic areas as well. Men and women still don’t have equality everywhere in the world today, but thanks to the strong and independent women centuries ago, I have this. I am fortunate enough, to have an education, a bright working future ahead of me, and the right to vote and speak for myself. Us, women, have accomplished so many incredible things. With our experience and knowledge we have today, we can achieve much greater things and help attain balance and equality everywhere in the world like we have done in the past.
