A large part of the factory labor force during the Industrial Revolution was made up of women and children.
They were employed in large numbers because they could be paid lower wages, were seen as more manageable, and could perform tasks (e.g., operating textile machinery) suited to smaller hands; this led to long hours, dangerous conditions, and later reforms and child‑labor laws.
