In modern-day America, there is a hot trend of woke capitalism amongst millennials and Members of Generation Z. Companies sell an item and then use some of the profits to share the product with the lesser fortunate. I for one have been seduced by the allure of Tom’s shoes (by one, give a pair) or Bombas socks (buy a pair, give a pair to the homeless. BTW these are the world’s most comfortable socks. I am obsessed). I can’t help but wonder if is this a twenty-first-century phenomenon or if was it around in this Era of Good Feelings. If it was, how did this new class of “factory girls” react?
Read the following three sources and contemplate the following two questions either through a written or video response:
1) Was woke capitalism around in the Era of Good Feelings?
2) How did women respond to the challenges of industrialization?
Sources
1) City Slave Girls
2) Striking Women (This whole site is interesting, but we are considering the 19th and early 20th centuries here)
3) The Accidental Singer Sewing Machine Revolution
