why so many women and children worked in industrial labor force

Well i can tell you that women where allot easier to handel then men back then and the cildren where able to get into small places that the grownups could not and the children where easy to use. they didnt get paid much and if they did somthing wrong they got beat.

also the men would fight back and where hard to handel so women toke over ther jobs because they where alot eaiser to handel. like i said

Beacause men thought they could dominate the world because of thief gender they felt women and children were less so they had to be mistreated
