The Industrial Revolution of the
18th century drew women out of the
home into the factories. The en-
ployers, taxing advantage of wumei. s

numbers to the machine, paid her a
mere pittance, and worked her IL, IA,
and 16 hours a day. The women
workers were unable to resist, be-
cause of their lack of organization
and the hostility of many men work
ers who feared their competition.
