Question

Why did manufacturers rely on immigrant women to work in their factories?

Answer 1

Manufacturers relied on immigrant women to work in their factories not only because these women were immigrants but also because there was a strong need for the women to support their families. Being in a new country with a lack of knowledge also played a role.

Other reasons why manufacturers relied on immigrant women was because it was important for women to have access to work quickly, the ability to work with other women and the workplace was where language was not a barrier.
