Let’s delve into the topic of women in the workplace- their challenges and success.

The history of women’s work and wages is a story of remarkable progress alongside persistent challenges. Let’s delve into this journey:

Early Influences:

  • Traditionally, women’s work revolved around the household and family farms. Paid work opportunities were limited.
  • The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries created new factory jobs, some of which women filled, particularly in textile and garment industries. However, wages were low, and working conditions were often harsh.

20th Century and the Fight for Equality:

  • Early 1900s: Only a small percentage of women were employed outside the home, primarily young and unmarried.
