INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

akaINDUSTRIAL AGE

akaINDUSTRIALIZATION

Industrialization led to: Factory jobs

Mining jobs

Transportation jobs

Increased need for workers led to: - People moving from the country to cities to work

- Hiring women to work

- Hiring children to work

- Factory owners hired women and children because there were not enough men to fill all the jobs.

Industrialization caused changes for women

- Women’s work went from life on the farm to life in the factories and the city

- Women no longer raised their food or made the things her family needed, now they bought them

- Women worked 12 to 14 hours a day in factories

Why hire a woman?

• Cheaper than a man

• Easier to train than a man

• Easier to control than a man
