Women Fight for Change

Women began working in factories and began making more money then they could at home. During the mid-1800's women formed unions for better wages and began to rally together for the abolition of slavery. This led them to realize that they deserved more rights. They believed that their rights should not be restricted by their gender. Women all over the world joined together and founded the Council for Women in 1888. I feel this reform was a great step in world history, not just women from a single country, but all over the world joined to fight. With their mass numbers they could not be ignored. This was a monumental step for women's rights.
