Yes, I agree that sewing machine and the typewriter were start of the new industrial technology but though many women learned the skills of using those machines, they were still treated unskilledful and paid vey much lower that what they actually deserved. Women still worked so hard and suffered from mistreatment.
And its true that women's labor reform movement started when many women suffered from the poor regulations and salary that women get despites all the hardwork they put in to their works.
