I have learned that woman got the right to work after the Industrial Revolution in the 1800's because they need workers for cotton factories. The woman felt as if they had more Independence after this and not just seen as housewives. They got payed less than the men and worked longer hours than them too. In 1963 Congress passed an Equal Pay Act that says woman should be payed equally. The woman before this were just seen as taking care of the children and nothing else. Some woman were forced to be married when they were young and had no choice. Woman were treated as if they were nothing!
As I did this research it had made me confused and furious as to why men didn't see woman as equal? But, doing this it has made me want to look more into what they were forced to do and what they weren't allowed to do that men could. Me doing this research and learning more about it has made me glad that woman stood up for what they believed was unfair and that they were sick of being treated unequal.

The most important piece of information from my research is that woman finally got the rights to work and to equal pay. This is important because when woman got the right to work they had more independence and were able to have more choices in what they were able to do or around the house. This helped it so woman weren't just seem as house wives or just mothers but more than that. They weren't paid equally when they first started because they thought that men had harder work than woman. But, eventually woman got paid equally to men based on the work they did. This is important because it shows that because when the woman started out they were getting independence in the 1800's and gradually continued to get independence gradually through the years. Since businesses were in need of more workers, this is the reason the woman were finally allowed to work outside of the home.
