Keywords:
Revolution, Europe, Women, Industrial, RoleAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to look at the historic roles that women played in England's industrial revolution. This article discusses specific issues pertaining to women, such as their employment status, economic circumstances, variety of roles they play, and effects of the industrial revolution on their status. These themes include the roles that women played in the revolution, the direction of economic development, the various roles that women played in it, and the consequences of the revolution—particularly those that affected women. In terms of social stratification, the industrial revolution reduced economic and social inequality and gave different social classes better chances depending on the degree of social mobility in industrialized nations compared to traditional societies. In addition, there was a notable improvement in the degree of social, political, and economic participation of the population in comparison to the pre-revolutionary period. Women were able to attain economic independence by working in industry and taking care of their families. However, this also led to a lot of responsibilities, which made things difficult for women because of their low pay. This study used an analytical historical technique and was written in a descriptive style. It used local and worldwide works about women in addition to primary and secondary historical materials.
