Özet:

 

In the first half of the nineteenth century, industrialization brought  fundamental social and economic changes to America. The traditional agrarian  society of the eighteenth century was rapidly transformed into a new urban,  commercial, and industrial society. The emergence of this new capitalist and  urbanized society greatly altered traditional family life and the relationship of the  home to economic production. According to Rosemary R. Ruether, the basic  economic processes of daily life had been traditionally centered around the home.  Industrialization gradually separated economic production from the home. Male  work “became increasingly disconnected with the home and was collectivized in a  separate sphere. Women more and more lost their productive work, as well as their  integration with male work”  196-97 . Their functions were reduced primarily to  that of consumer, child-rearer, and domestic care-taker. Thus, “[a] split between the  masculine work world and the feminine domestic support system arose”  23 .
