Stories of women during the Industrial Revolution : changing roles, changing lives
Hubbard, Ben, 1973-2016
Books
From the mid 18th century, new machines powered by steam and coal began to produce goods on a massive scale. This was known as the Industrial Revolution. Workers were badly paid and their working conditions were harsh. Life was even harder for working women, who received lower wages and fewer rights than men. Some women, however, would not stand for the poor treatment of themselves or others. This book collects the stories of four trailblazers who achieved amazing things in difficult circumstances.
