Question

how were female factory workers treated?(1 point)○ they were paid less per hour than men were paid.○ they were given short working hours for fear of exhaustion.○ they usually worked next to men in the same industries.○ they were typically not hired until they were older.

Explanation:

During the era of early industrialization (when female factory work became widespread), a key feature of gender-based workplace inequality was that women were paid a lower hourly wage than men for comparable work. The other options are incorrect: women often worked long, exhausting hours, were frequently segregated into separate, lower-skilled roles rather than working alongside men, and many were hired at younger ages for labor-intensive, low-work tasks.

Answer:

They were paid less per hour than men were paid.
