due to the fact that women did not have rights, they were sexually harassed by their managers and bosses, they did not have any sort of priveleges either. if they had to go to the bathroom, they can only go during their break, and sometimes the weren't even allowed to go to the bathroom, so they had to go in cups.

also, there was no way of escape of something went wrong with the machinery because the doors were kept lock. a factory did in fact burn, and all of the women and children died in the fire. it was not too long after that that women began to fight for their rights.

Employers paid women half of what they paid men. Working caused them to stay away from home for 12 hours or more a day. They also still had to feed and clothe their families, clean, and cope with such problems as sickness and injury.

During WWII women's husband's were fighting in the war leaving the woman (and possibly children) without any income. Women would work in factories to provide for themselves and their families while their husbands were fighting in the war.

How are the career challenges of minorities both similar to and different from those of women?

Similarities: There is an underrepresentation of minorities and women in upper level management positions, seats of boards, and in all levels of STEM, politics, and industries such as construction. This can create challenges for young minorities and women to find mentors as they strive to penetrate these industries and work their way up the ladder. The underrepresentation can also create an uncomfortable work environment for the minorities and women. Differences: Women struggle with work-life balance, as they are often expected to raise children in addition to having full-time jobs. They are also more likely to take time off for maternity leave, than men are to take paternity leave, and this time off from work makes it more difficult to compete with men for a promotion or a raise.
