drew little attention from most people Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status as their only option At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite In the 19 th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men and women Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or craftsmaking, both of which took place in or near the home Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their children Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale enterprises The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful place” was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves The first wave began around the mid-19 th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage – that is, the right to vote This wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage Question 41 Why
