What effect did industrialization have on gender roles?

A correct answer (sample response) is:

Industrialization changed the labor needs of society. As work moved from agriculture- to industry-based, the economy moved away from a focus in the home to a focus outside the home. These changes helped support feminist arguments that allowing women to work outside the home was not only the right thing to do it was necessary for economic success and sustainability.

It really depends. For some people, it had helped, but for others, it made a even worse impact.
