Government reform drew increased numbers of women into public life. Before the Civil War, married middle-class women were generally expected to devote their time to the care of their homes and families. By the late 19th century, however, only middle-class and upper-class women could afford to do so. Poorer women usually had no choice but to work for wages outside the home. As better-paying opportunities became available in towns, and especially cities, women had new options for finding jobs. At the turn of the century, one out of five American women held jobs; 25 percent of them worked in manufacturing. They typically held the least skilled positions, however, and received only about half as much money as their male counterparts or less. Dangerous conditions, low wages, and long hours led many female industrial workers to push for reforms. Their ranks grew after 146 workers, mostly Jewish and Italian immigrant girls, died in a 1911 fire in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City.Middle- and upper-class women also entered the public sphere. By 1910, women’s clubs, at which these women discussed art or literature, were nearly half a million strong. These clubs sometimes grew into reform groups that addressed issues such as temperance or child labor. Many of the women who became active in public life in the late 19th century had attended the new women’s colleges. Many of these educated women began to apply their skills to needed social reforms. Many women also became involved through the Temperance Movement (anti-drinking movement).QUESTION 610 pointsHow did the Progressive Era increase women's involvement in activism and political life?
