Women of 18th Century

“Spinster” nowadays is often used to describe an unmarried, older woman. The background of the word “spinster” tells us how an 18 century woman was viewed according to society of that time period. The production of fabrics was a family thing in those days. Women often made fabric at home to earn money not entirely because she needed it but because it was something to do. But industrial revolution put an end to that. Industries could produce way more fabric than a woman can on that machine. This shows how woman were treated in the 18th century. They could not have a career. Lamed Jaramillo
