Question

What were the changes in the kind of work available to women in London

between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries? Explain the factors which

led to this change.

Ans.

(i) Employment in Factories: In the 18th and the 19th centuries, a large number

of women were employed in the factories because, during that period, most of

the production activities were carried with the help of the family.

(ii) Technological Developments and loss of jobs: But with technological

advancement, women gradually lost their industrial jobs and were forced to do

household work. They also tried to increase the family income by activities like

tailoring, washing or matchbox making.

(iii) Employment during War: However, in the 20th century, women again

started getting employed in wartime industries and offices because most of the

male citizens were fighting at the front.
