Women in the British Industrial Revolution

During the industrial revolution women's roles changed drastically. Instead of staying at home weaving or looking after the children, women had to leave the house to go work in factories and mines. They would have to leave everything they had to do at home to go and work. Because of the separation of tasks according to gender and the cultural expectation of women meant that women were worse off than men during the industrial revolution. …

…their husbands said. They were not allowed to stay at home because they had to do something where they would get paid. The reason why women were worse off than men during the industrial revolution was because they had to stay loyal to their husbands. They had to do what men said and agree with them. They had no real life of their own, because it was owned by another person of the opposite sex.
