The statement that best describes a similarity between upper- and lower-class women during the Industrial Revolution is "Both groups were treated unfairly and unequally compared with men of their class."

During the Industrial Revolution, many men from the rural areas of the United States migrated to the North because all the industries and fabrics were there. Some women stayed at home to raise children and took care of the family. Others also migrated and got jobs in the fabrics because they needed the money to support their children.  Unfortunately for women, they were not valued the same as men. Women were paid low wages.
