 //__Theme #28: __//// Gender roles and their influence on work, social structure, family structure, and interest group formation. //   As a result of the negatives caused by the rapid industrialization in nineteenth-century England, the Ten Hours Act was passed to limit the workday for women and young people in factories to ten hours. This reform instituted by the Tories political party was seen as a detriment to the middle classes. Although the bill was supposed to make life safer for the women and adolescents in industrial society, it stopped part of the families’ income because women and younger peoples could only work for a part of the time they used to, causing them to lose some of their wage.
