Answer:
During the Industrial Revolution, the workers were treated like parts within a machine simply because they had no protections and the employers could exploit the workers in the name of profits. As a result, workers were placed in horrible working conditions for smaller wages as new groups joined the labor pool.
While some fought unfair employment practices, others thought that the solution was to get rid of capitalism altogether. Socialism was viewed as the most fair way to distribute the fruits of the labor as everyone could take according to his/her need.
Pargo v. Elliot--this case was the beginning of women arguing they do not receive equal treatment to other prisoners.
Though the case was overturned and no just cause was found, it did bring attention to the issue of treatment of prisoners. In particular, women prisons being so few have been cited as having poor health programs and not as many educational programs as men.
