Lesson 6- Cultural Change in the Industrial Age

Question 4 • World History 1A - Mr.Sauceda (Fall 2026)

How did industrialization contribute to the changing role of women in the late 1800s?

Answer
A
Women who worked outside the home were allowed to vote in state and national elections.
B
New appliances helped women complete household chores faster so they could pursue other interests.
C
New appliances signaled the end of housework, freeing women to work outside the home.
D
Women who worked outside the home were able to hold public office.

Explanation

Industrialization led to the development of household appliances that made some chores faster and easier. This gave women more time to pursue interests beyond household work. The appliances did not end housework, and working outside the home did not automatically grant women voting rights or the ability to hold public office.
