I found this article quite interesting. I disagree with Erin on one key point. The women were not required to do equal work, as the article stated they were doing work that did not require much training and predominantly did "light and simple work". I also wanted to point out in regards to Marren's post, that one of the reasons that women were often times more sought after than men by the factories is because they were cheaper and were less likely to work at the factory for long periods of time, thereby causing the company to need replacements for them. Additionally, in regards to Cash's post, I don't see how this article shows how there is still a glass ceiling today, seeing as it was written around one hundred and fifty years ago. -Brian Brown | I found this article quite interesting.

| + | I liked how this document showed the want for women to work in the swiss watch shop because "women have proved their ability to execute the most delicates parts." Normally reading historical documents, it is the men who are wanted to work in a factory on a specific detail and now it shows Switzerland and France has pushed passed the gender stereotypes where the women stay home and dont belong in the working industry. --Maggie Wroe | ||
