There were many reforms during the Industrial Revolution, one of those being the fight for women's rights. Women were allowed to work in the factories and had the opportunity to earn more money, but then again they only made a third of what men made. This obviously angered women and in order to so something about it, they formed unions in the mid-1800s. This jump started the women's rights movement. This reform is important to me in particularly because I, myself am a woman. If this reform never happened and no woman ever stood up for her herself, I would not be where I am today.
