Answer: B. Policies encouraged women to work outside of the home
Explanation:
Industrialization was in full swing in the United States in the early 1800s and the industries needed labor. Some states such as Ohio, found that men did not want to work in factories at first because their pride did not allow them to work under other men.
The factories therefore turned to women and young girls. Even though women working was generally looked down on at the time, some women embraced it because it meant that they could be independent of men and societal expectations if need be.
