off during the Industrial Revolution
Many African American and immigrant women began to work◦ In 1870, roughly 70% of female jobs were
as servants
By 1900, women were working in factories, laundries and canneries.
As business expanded, women began to take “white collar” jobs◦ Teaching, stenographers, bookkeepers,
typists etc.
