During the late 18th century, immigrant women were often hired "just off the boat" and made to work for very low wages in industries such as textiles, garment manufacturing, and domestic service. Women were not typically employed in other industries, and they often worked in worse conditions than men in the same workplace. Men and women did not typically work side by side in most industries.
