Women's roles were changed through family, workplace, and society; due to the Market Revolution and The Second Great Awakening. This greatly effected how they were viewed from 1815-1860. In the late 1700's women were perceived as the "purer" sex, and were looked upon to teach the next generations of their family what was acceptable in life. This was an example of Republican Motherhood. Prior to the Market Revolution, a mother's role was to stay in the home and take care of the children. From 1815-1860 the role of Women in the workplace changed greatly. When America began to industrialize, this created new opportunities for women to work outside of the home. Throughout this time period, young girls were allowed to work under the Cult of Domesticity. This stated that any unmarried girl could work until she "became" a women, through marriage. Also, all of her pay would go to whomever was in charge of her well-being. This was a small step to realizing what women can do, outside of the home. In Document B, a letter from a young girl stated what her daily routine was in the Lowell Mill. This schedule was very routine and orderly, which was one of the policies of the mill. This promised that the "girls" wouldn't be exposed to what men dealt with on a daily basis. Throughout society vast movement and changes were made, from Abolitionist movements, to great Social Reforms women got worked for a larger role. In the Senica Falls Convention the Rights of Women were discussed greatly. Susan B. Anthony, Dorthea Dix, and Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell revised the Constitution to include women, and their role in society. This opened the door to immense discrimination, but these ladies didn't care about what people thought of them. This is what women were about, during the time of 1848.
