Paper Summary:
This three page undergraduate papers examines the economic enslavement of women during the Industrial Revolution. The paper suggests that women worked long hours for low wages, under conditions that can only be described as economic slavery and that many women and their families lived in poverty despite the fact that seventy-hour work weeks were common.From the Paper:
"They could be fired or let go at any time, regardless of length of employment. If they were injured on the job or even killed, their families usually received little if any compensation. Employee rights for women were extremely limited, and they lacked any legal means of compelling their bosses to address their grievances."More papers on Women and the Industrial Revolution:
