Britain during the XIX century
During the 19th century life was transformed by the Industrial Revolution
Britain became the world's first urban society. By 1851 more than half the population lived in towns.
About 15 million people left Britain between 1815 and 1914. However many people migrated to Britain in the 19th century.
In the early 19th century Britain was ruled by an elite. Only a small minority of men were allowed to vote. The situation began to change in 1832 when the vote was given to more men. Constituencies were also redrawn and many industrial towns were represented for the first time. The franchise was extended again in 1867 and 1884. In 1872 the secret ballot was introduced. Once most men could vote movements began to get women the right to vote as well. In 1897 in Britain local groups of women who demanded the vote joined to form the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS).
In 19th century Britain at least 80% of the population was working class. In order to be considered middle class, you had to have at least one servant. Most servants were female. Throughout the 19th century, 'service' was a major employer of women.
