The men were the main bread winners and provided for the families. When asbestos-related diseases became more prevalent and the men had to stop working, this type of lifestyle started to change. Women started to have to take charge of more things outside of the household. This would have been hard, since most of these women probably got married during a time when getting a degree as a women was not very common a thing, so they probably had very few opportunities to get high salary paying jobs. The strong men, who were loggers, are no longer so strong.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, Progressive reformers worked to improve the social, political, and economic problems in American society. Throughout this time, muckrakers helped reformers by revealing injustices to Americans through journalism, books, campaigns, photographs, and political cartoons. Poor working conditions, low quality of consumer products, and inferior democracy were present in American life during the Progressive Era; reforms such as state actions, the Meat Inspection Act, and Direct Primary helped to eliminate these corruptions. An issue society faced during the Progressive Era was poor working conditions. In Upton Sinclair’s book, The Jungle, he writes that if a person found anyone who uses knives in this factory,
Introduction: Industrial Revolution was a time when, mass production took place in England around 1790 and ended in 1870. They employed children because they were small, they could pay them less money, and therefore made more profit themselves.

The dust, soot and oil suffocated them half of the time, they were whipped for sitting down, suffered from thirst and hunger, and many more disturbing things. The children would get injured often when fingers were crushed and arms were broken, some girls got black marks on their skin from being whipped several times.
Women of all ages transitioned from the home to the workforce. Mothers as well as single women began to take on the work that men were
Late 19th Century and early 20th Century expansionism was a clear continuation of earlier 19th century Manifest Destiny displaying the ideals of God and westward expansion, and the use of aggression. Manifest Destiny was the God-Given right for the American people to expand westward. Once we did expand to our full country today of America, our expansion was not done. It was time for America to expand out of its contiguous region and become an imperialist nation. Leaders like Josiah Strong, believed it was the God-Given right to spread the Anglo-Saxon culture, and Beveridge, believed we needed to expand our markets and for more opportunities.
The Progressive Era The Progressive Era was a period of time that ranged from 1890 to 1920. During this time many reforms were made in local areas, state and federal levels. Using evidence, the Progressive area proves to be limited given the overall affects of segregation, racism, child labor and the Electoral College and careless employers. The successful components of the era are commerce laws and women’s rights and Chosen Representation.

Throughout history, Society is known for having a huge impact on family relation. In Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Marx states, “The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation”. Marx demonstrates how the power of the bourgeoisie can effect a family’s communication toward each other. This demonstrates how money can have huge repercussions throughout the lower classes living with little, to no money at all. The bourgeoisie can dominate in society and change how these lower classes are looked at due to their financial status.
Economic dependency was upon the men. They were bringing in all of the money for the household. When the Industrial Revolution began to take place, women were dragged into factories and forced to do jobs that were outside of their comfort zone. A gender hierarchy existed within most households. Women were below men at the time.
The structure of society and the course of history are changed through decisions and actions of those that have the power to do so, and historically those people have been men. A woman’s place in society in the mid twentieth century was relative to a man’s; man and wife, the male sex and the other sex, the stronger and the weaker, the dominant and the subordinate, the independent and the dependent, the essential and the inessential (de Beauvoir, 1949). Therefore historically it has not been easy for women to alter their position in society. In relation to the division of labour Durkheim’s theory of organic solidarity, whereby individuals have different skills and responsibilities and therefore are dependent on each other, (Ritzer, 2008) can be used to describe breadwinner / homemaker households where women are dependent on men to earn money to provide for the family, and men are dependent on women to do the housework as their function is to manage the home.
