Question

question 10 of 20 how did women’s roles change as a result of the industrial revolution in europe? a. women earned the right to vote in most democracies by organizing protests. b. women largely controlled agriculture by replacing male farmers who moved to cities. c. women earned salaries equal to men’s for the first time in history. d. women gained increased economic independence by working in factories.

Explanation:

• Option A: Women's suffrage (right to vote) movements gained momentum later, not directly from the Industrial Revolution's immediate impact on roles.
• Option B: The Industrial Revolution saw people move to cities for factory jobs, and women didn't largely control agriculture in this context.
• Option C: During the Industrial Revolution, women were paid less than men for similar work, so equal salaries didn't occur.
• Option D: The Industrial Revolution created factory jobs, and many women began working in factories, which gave them a source of income and increased economic independence compared to pre - industrial domestic roles.

Answer:

D. Women gained increased economic independence by working in factories.
