The industrial revolution had placed many women in the work force. In sewing and textile factories women in the 1870's in the US were numerous employees working under bad conditions with low pay. The new and different labor union was the Knights of Labor. Most labor unions were dominated by male workers. In the 1870's, however, women comprised over ten percent of the Knights of Labor.
In 1890, women made up about 15% of the U.S. labor force. Today, they represent almost 50%.
