WOMEN.

Women in the Industrial Revolution were taken for granted. Many worked all day, just like their husbands. They not only had to work long, grueling hours in a factory, but most had to then go home and be a mother. I don't think that women get enough props for the role they played in the Industrial Revolution. The majority of the spinners and weavers in factories were women, and textile factories played a HUGE part in the Industrial Revolution. Women spinners, besides young children, are definitely the workers that do not get enough credit for what they did for the Industrial Revolution, especially in Britain.
