Everything in both of the industrial revolutions was all fast paced. They wanted skilled or less-skilled workers who would take little pay. And during this time there was a lot of poor families who would take the job opportunity. Since everything was fast paced they didn't have much time to fix the working conditions. Their main focus was to get the product completed and sold. But later on in the 2nd revolution, the working conditions did get better.
Back in the second industrial revolution there were many factories being built, and there were a lot of people willing to work for lower wages. Conditions were harsh, as there was a lot of smog, factory smoke, etc. and many people were harmed by the many machines in factories that had no safety precautions. Also, the gases and smoke caused breathing and lung illnesses.
I think that the leaders believe that women would have additional rights if they had the vote (to he honest I don't know what vote is that). since the early ages women were not given equal and unjust rights, if they had the vote, leaders believed that women would gain more additional rights
