How did new technologies make the building of skyscrapers practical

History
1 answer:
Westkost [7]3 years ago

As I recall it was rolled-steel girders riveted together, probably from shipbuilding, together with steam-powered winches and an abundance of cheap steel. As opposed to European cathedrals erected with animal-powered winches and with more expensive forged iron bracing (one of the big cathedrals has a kind or iron corset to keep the walls from bursting outwards).

To what extent did women's rights improve during the gilded age
Sholpan [36]

Gilded Age is a period in American history at the end of the nineteenth century, more precisely from the 1860's-70's until about 1896-1900. The period was characterized by a glitter on the surface, while below was corruption. Changes that took place in this period had the most significant impact on women's lives and city growth. With the growth of cities and urbanization, modernism is emerging, which is manifested in everyday life, especially in the middle and upper classes.  Women besides the role of housewife are increasingly appearing in the public and taking part in social activities, as a sign of improving the status of women, but also as a symbol of personal status of class and modernism. At the same time, it leads to increased attention, which is directed at the behavior of women in the public, from how they were dressed, to the degree of freedom of behavior, and there was the possibility of being characterized as inadequate behavior. Nevertheless, women's rights, in addition to "superficial" changes, also included an increasing presence in education and public life, whether it was campaigning for social change or for the right to vote, as well as issues of reproductive rights. A class of working women appeared, so in addition to symbolic changes, there is also an influential corpus when it comes to deciding and contributing to changes.
