Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page paper provides an overview of the role of women in the industrial West. The role of women in the emerging industrial workforce at the end of the 19th century had a definitive impact on family values and perspectives on racism, ethnicity and changing demographics (including increasing urban gentrification). By the beginning of the 20th century, many middle class women had entered the workforce and female authorship during this time represented substantial differences in assessments of class, race, ethnic background and domesticity. Prior to the onset of the 20th century, though, it was evident that the stage was set for some defined conflicts in the emerging labor participation for women.

the sexes," a notion that Craik clearly challenged. The call for employment of women and for women to move into wage-earner positions, are elements that Craik believed challenged the
underpinnings and moral perspectives of our society, and were paramount to the decline of the modern civilization. Craik wrote: "Equally blasphemous, and perhaps even more harmful, is
the outcry about the equality of the sexes; the frantic attempt to force women, many of whom are either ignorant of or unequal for their own duties--into the position and
duties of men" (Craik 5). Craik argued that women already had a position, a role, and a work-based duty, that was the underpinning of the family, and one necessitated
by the role of men: to cook, clean and maintain the family home (Craik 151). Craik wrote: "When a house boasts both master and mistress, each should
leave to the other the appointed work, and both qualify themselves rightly to fulfil the same, abstaining as much as possible from mutual interference. A man who can trust his
