Describe the new employment opportunities in areas like factories, offices, and in department stores that opened up to women, as well as professions like teaching, nursing, and social work, to name a few.

Essays should be about five pages in length, double-spaced with one-inch margins, and be typed in a normal size font. In each essay, you should introduce your topic and establish a thesis—an argument, in your opening paragraph, and throughout the body of the text, provide detailed data to defend your thesis. Lastly, in your concluding paragraph, summarize your main points.

The new industrial/urban order of the late nineteenth and early twentyish centuries ushered in many changes to the lives of American women, with many of them gender bending or even breaking developments. Describe the new employment opportunities in areas like factories, offices, and in department stores that opened up to women, as well as professions like teaching, nursing, and social work, to name a few. Furthermore, discuss the various progressive reforms that women became involved in—for example in settlement houses, the National Consumers League, the Women’s Trade Union League, and the two largest female causes, temperance and suffrage through organizations like the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the National American Women’s Suffrage Association, which eventually led to the ratification of the eighteenth and nineteenth amendments.
