Then and Now Connection: Women in Factories

From Pre-Civil War times to Reconstruction, women in factories was not often a sight to see. Although this changed a little during the Civil War, when women took over as men went off to war, women gaining equality to begin to work alongside men was still a big issue.


Today's day in age, women's role in society has changed dramatically. Women not only work in factories alongside men, but now they also have become prominent in society, becoming prominent money earners and extremely more independent then during the Civil war time periods.
