Factory owners exploited their employees, requiring them to work unreasonably long hours in unsafe environments for little pay. Since working-class men and women were often poor, they relied on their jobs to generate an income. However, the conditions in which they were forced to work infuriated them. Machines in factories were typically unsafe, and workers hardly received any break time. As a result, working-class men and women

Perhaps this was the writer’s attempt to create an ending that makes a reader believe there is fortune after working in the iron mills or being part of the working-class; maybe you can be saved after all, but even that argument, is a stretch. If the story had ended with Hugh passing away in jail, it would have been more consistent with the beginning and middle of the story, and more

That being said, why is it that in the earliest recounts of the city we are left with a vague picture of the roles among women? With such few accounts of their lives and contributions, why are the ones we do have centered on negative aspects, such as their pessimism or sexual responsibilities.

The combination of a strong woman and the bold text at the top of the image, “We can do it!” is still inspiring women seventy-five years later.

being mother of three children as is Grégoire-Trudeau is not enough reason to be overwhelmed. This is not a valid argument from someone who doesn’t have children. Time has changed and these last years, mother-women have increased their presence in working life, causing them a bigger stress in the children-rearing. It is a fact that Grégoire-Trudeau doesn’t have the same circumstances than “everyday Canadians” (Vardanis, 2016) have. However, we should also keep in mind that “everyday Canadians” women
