During the Industrialization of the Industrial Revolution with progress came poverty. The upper class for example business tycoons/owners became wealthier and the people that worked for them the lower class for example most immigrants new to the country or country folk moving to the city became more in debt to poverty. Tycoons became money hungry and indulged themselves in money and became invested into that resulted in safety violations. The workers becoming in need for more money they worked longer and harder to make ends meets and took their children out of school to earn more money for the family. Just like always women helped build up the society during the Industrial Revolution for example Jane Addams she began the Hull House Movement in which she created a place for homeless women and children to stay while providing education and opportunity by creating employment bureau for them.
While these stereotypical gender roles helped out during times of need in order to split the work, it just further created the divide between the social classes and genders, women were not immune to this

Women worked 12-16 hours a day and six days a week. “A stranger am I to my child; and he one to me.”
In “The Pastoralization of Housework” by Jeanne Boydston, Boydston explores the effect of the romanization of housework. The pastoralization of housework that occurred during the Antebellum period was the result of the development of early industrialization. In order to have something remain constant in the changing times the formation of two separate gender spheres allowed a routine to an ever changing society. A result of these two spheres was the pastoralization of domestic labor in the early 1800s that made labor ‘invisible’ and began to discredit the women’s work at home, but also raised them to a higher pedestal in the family dynamic. By embracing the idea of True Motherhood women were able to flourish by the naturalization of the social
In the 1930’s the time had come to where the Great Plains region was devastated by the drought. Oklahoma, Texas, and their neighborhood states such as Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico had heavy winds, very little rainfall, and not a lot of soil causing the residents to hurry and grab their belongings and leave as soon as possible because the Dust Bowl had arrived and was ready to stay. Not only was the drought hitting the farmers hard emotionally but also financially because the drought made the economic conditions worse. The farmers plan to make it out of the Great Depression was to move to the great sunshine state of California. California was the land of a promising future for people.
1. Benjamin Rush trusted and advocated that American women demanded a superior access to education and training in the eighteenth century. In general, the Revolution was over and it entirely altered in the society such as cultural, social, economic, and political of America. The American Revolution created a new form of government, and modified the whole rights and privileges of women, improved their status and changed their life. Because of new and promising social situation and circumstances, education for women became a significant and noticeable issue as well.
The families were first altered because of the pay the man of the house was receiving. The low pay made it very hard to be able to afford a house and put food on the table. Mothers and children had to go to work just to pay for simple necessities. Most female workers performed unskilled or semi-skilled machine work but some worked in industries that demanded heavy labor. Some women, for instance, worked on railroads, while others were employed as machinists.
The women were expected to create a happy home, guard the religion, and the morality of her family. The unmarried and married women who tried to seek work outside the home faced limited employment opportunities because of their gender. Women were expected to only focus on domestic duties and her role were limited to continue living in the man’s world. Women roles were expected to be in line with the culture and norms set by the society. The American culture perceived that women were not intellectually and emotionally stable to be involved in the complex world of work and, therefore, women did not take up leadership and political roles.
Women of the revolution were astounding. They were brave and courageous against the much legality that prevented participation. An example of this is Deborah Simpson who disguised herself as a man to fight in war that at the time only allowed men participants. Women were in the background fighting for independence along with colonial men. Women fought for individual liberty to not have to be spoken for by their husbands, to have a voice that can be heard and with political judgment.
The American Revolution or also known as the U.S War of Independence and the American Revolutionary War took place during 1775 to 1783. The Revolution was a conflict arose from the residents of Great Britain’s 13 colonies and the colonial government. The Revolution brought few changes to the lives of women, while the men were away at war, women would stay home and take over the jobs men had before the war. As time flew by, women started taking roles in the Revolutionary War, examples of women who took roles are: Molly Gutridge, Eliza Wilkinson, Anna Rawle and Esther De Berdt Reed.
Women’s responsibilities increased especially at work and war. Women, even today are discriminated because of their gender, so there is still no equality between both genders which should stop. Many women worked in the work force. According to an article, “For the first time, women
They did not know any better. Factory owners liked to use the women for work because they did not have to pay them as much as they would have to pay the men. Another element that helped transition the gender hierarchy was that the women were not independent. They were used to their domesticated lifestyle in the homes. The gender hierarchy that existed within the household transitioned to the workforce and the factories.
