INTRODUCTION
The Industrial Revolution was more than an important event in the economic and technological history of the West. It helped to reshape the patterns of life for men and women, first in Britain, then in Europe and America, and eventually throughout much of the world. By increasing the scale of production, the Industrial Revolution brought about the factory system, which in turn compelled the migration of millions from the countryside and small towns into cities.
Once in those cities, men and women had to learn a new way of life, and learn it quickly: how to discipline them to the factory whistle and survive in a slum, if they were first-generation urban workers; how to manage a workforce and achieve respectable prominence for themselves in the community, if they were businessmen and their wives. [1]
One particular, lesson that industrialization and urbanization taught was that of class-consciousness. Men and women, to a far greater degree than heretofore, began to perceive themselves as part of a class with interests of its own, and in opposition to the interests of men and women in other classes.
