What was the condition of women worker during russian revolution?
Answers
Answer:
The life experiences of women in the Russian Empire before the Revolution were extremely diverse. Peasant women were mostly illiterate.
Towards the end of the 19th century, peasant women began to migrate to the cities in large numbers to work in factories or domestic service. Although their working hours and conditions were long and difficult, this was the first time that many women experienced independence from the patriarchal village traditions and structures.
World War I brought even greater freedom – and hardship – as thousands of women were mobilised to fill roles left vacant by men at the front and to support the war effort.
All women were treated as passive citizens. They did not have right to vote. There wages were lower than those of men. They looked after their children, did the cooking , fetched water and queued for bread.
