The Industrial Revolution was a time where women and children were treated poorly. They worked with big machinery that had alot of open parts and that were dangerous the machines could kill or seriously injured a worker. If someone got injured on the job that was ok because they could always higher a new worker. Women and children mostly worked because they were easily intimidated by the boss if that boss were a man. Women and children didn't have any rights in the work force and were not appreciated by the government.

This picture looks like it deals with textile mills there are big machines that do something with paper. The men in this picture are working with big machines with not very many people around. The machines aren't safe and the government doesn't have very good regulations on making the machines safe for the workers.

Essay Pic #2
In this picture there are women and little girls working. The little girl could get her hair stuck in the machinery. In the industrial revolution all the machinery was open and it was dangerous. In this picture the wheels were open and not hidden so there's even more danger.
In the Industrial Revolution, kids would work in big factories with dangerous open equipment. When working with the big machinery there wasn't any adult supervision. In this picture young boys are working with big needles or pins of some sort. The danger of kids working with big and open machinery is that they could get their clothes stuck in the machinery or their hand and get hur or even die.
