Answer:

industrialization led to social changes like the creation of a new gender role for women as well as the addition of the middle class and industrial working class in the 1750 to 1900 period. With the creation of the middle class, families grew much wealthier thus woman no longer had to work anymore. This led to a societal pressure on middle class woman to nurture a happy family while the man went away to work. This was not true for the industrial working class though as they were being exploited through long hours and little pay in factories by the wealthier middle class forcing the women of the industrial working class to work in order to care for their families. industrialization changed the social structure by creating two new classes, the middle class and workers class as well as changing social norms for women.
