Female factory workers were primarily treated poorly compared to their male counterparts, notably in terms of pay. The correct response is:

They were paid less per hour than men were paid.

This reflects the broader wage disparity that existed between male and female workers during that time period. The other statements may have some truth in various contexts, but the wage gap is a standout issue indicative of the systemic inequality faced by female workers.
