In paragraph 8 or 9, Florence Kelley asks rhetorical questions that allude to women being able to vote. Kelley basically says that if mothers or teachers could vote, children would not have to go through working at such a young age. Also, if women were the ones in charge and could change laws or vote, this would have never happened. Instead of children, she wants to bring in workingmen voters who actually can work and take on the job of these poor
The middle class consisted of freeborn or freed citizens. Then at the bottom was the slave population. Despite the social structure of Pompeii and Herculaneum there was a significant difference between the social statue of men and woman. Woman influenced the social structure in many ways, although they were denied place in office they could still impact political affairs.

Maid to Order: The Politics of Other Women’s Work Luis Erazo Laredo Community College The main focus for Barbara Ehrenreich was on building awareness about the problems associated with females working as maids. Ehrenreich reflects on the sixties and seventies to explain the roots of this issue; when housework was not seen as a job, even though it was supposed to be “the great equalizer of women”. Women were cooking meals, caring for children and doing all sorts of other tasks in order to allow men to focus on their job. Without a paycheck for their house duties, women were made to feel as though they had no real value for the family. Today’s problem stems from companies like Merry Maids that
In the end I chose to disagree with him in that I was the role of the government to improve the working condition of the working classes. From all of the working conditions that these workers had to face in source one, to striking to work in source four, five and six. From what women had to endure in their jobs in sources seven, eight and nine, and seeing that kids where starting to work at age ten and the psychological effect on children in sources ten, eleven, and twelve.

This implies that men have more decision-making power, and are able to consume more of what the family earns, even if they are unemployed and it is the woman who is earning the money.

She initially feels twinges of sadness at leaving her parents and her home but quickly puts those feelings aside in order to take in everything about her beginning adventure. Dreiser uses the image of the young impressionable woman fresh from the Plains as a model of America before the great rush of industrialist thinking. An America which prided itself on its work ethic and good sturdy morals, this new America which arrived courtesy of railways and an improved transportation system is sordid and miserable, fueled by the never ending desire to constantly be better. Carrie is a vehicle through which Dreiser is able to navigate through this new society and examine it, depicting the transition from innocence to reality, from unpolluted and wholesome to dirty and congested. In this new and supposedly improved America doing bigger and better is the only way to go and effects the way in which everyone in that society acts and in fact it can be argued that need is the major influence when it comes to the decisions made Carrie and most everyone in the novel .
