The Journal states that historian says “It was during the industrial revolution moreover, and largely one because of the economic opportunities it afforded to working-class women, that here was the beginning of that most important and most beneficial of all social revolutions of the last two centuries, the emancipation of women. ” I think this Journal will help with my paper because women found a way to get over the obstacles in their lives and being emancipated was one of the first obstacles.

These three women talk about how African American women participated in movements for politics, ideological and social currents.
