➜ France did not initially use steam due to the abundance of water resources. New textile and steel factories were located in northern France. The rest of its production consisted of traditional items for the country’s still predominantly rural society.
Literature and History
During the 19th century, working conditions in factories were extremely hard. Search for three of the best novels to describe the life of workers during the Industrial Revolution. Although those conditions seem to be a thing of the past, they are still a reality in some countries. Make a speech to deliver at the International Labour Organisation (ILO), an agency of the United Nations, in order to raise awareness on the fact that little has changed.

to the coal mines in the regions of Ruhr, Saarland and Upper Silesia. But, the main push came after the creation of the Zollverein in 1834, which was a customs union that included Prussia and the central and southern German states. Industrialisation was stopped short due to political fragmentation and did not pick up again until 1850.
➜ The United States had several positive factors, such as vast land areas for growing cotton; mining resources; high demand, due to domestic growth and immigration; and the railway. The textile and steel sectors were located in the east and Midwest of the U.S.

3 What
These countries began industrialisation from 1850 onwards. They lacked technological development, had poor natural resources, little demand and investment, and were geographically far from the main international trading hubs. This group comprised European countries to the north, to the south – Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece – and to the east – Austria-Hungary and Russia. Industrialisation in Japan was not entirely achieved until 1870, during the Meiji period.

The Industrial Revolution spread from Great Britain to other countries. The pace at which it spread varied due to different factors: the amount of natural resources (coal, iron and cotton), the amount of capital, population growth, product demand, political situation, etc.
The first countries to adopt industrialisation around 1830 were the ones closest to England (France, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany), or those with close ties to England (the United States). They adopted technology that had previously been implemented in Great Britain, and received specialised machines and technicians from England.

D
At the beginning of industrialisation, the bourgeoisie and proletariat lived together in the same neighbourhoods, sometimes even in the same buildings, of large European cities.
They did not have insurance for accidents, illness, job loss or retirement, and at factories they were treated with strict discipline and were punished for leaving their workstation or talking while working. In the cities, the proletariat lived in overcrowded neighbourhoods, located near the factories or ports, which had poor sanitation.

Cristina Morales was born almost a century after André Leo, but they are united, in addition to their dedication to literature, by an anarchist, feminist and revolutionary spirit.
1 André Léo was a member of the International Workers Association (IWA / AIT). Look for information on another woman who was part of the AIT and write a biographical note.
2 Cristina Morales belongs to the Acció Llibertaria de Sants, an anarchist association in Barcelona. Remember what you have studied in this unit and briefly explain the characteristics of anarchism.
Cristina won the Premio Herralde (2018) and the Premio Nacional de Narrativa (2019) with Lectura Fácil, a crude and unconventional novel. Its protagonists are four disabled young intellectuals who provide a very critical vision of institutions and capitalism from an anarchistic perspective, in addition to a stark analysis of machismo and different political ideologies.
In her literary work, Cristina Morales allows us to learn about the lives of very different women, such as young women from Barcelona in Lectura Fácil, or the famous Teresa de Jesús in Malas palabras where Cristina steps into the shoes of the nun from Ávila and writes her diary in the first person. Cristina considers her to be one of the first writers to denounce women’s lack of freedom, vindicating a need to restudy this historical person.

The best flats were occupied by the wealthier class and the worst flats and attics by wage workers. Later on, when urban growth forced the medieval walls to be brought down, cities expanded and the different social classes lived in separate neighbourhoods, whose characteristics reflected the owners’ level of wealth.
Industrial workers made up a new social group, called the proletariat*, comprising peasants who had migrated to the cities and former artisans who had gone bankrupt due to industrial mechanisation. It was a cheap workforce who had hardly any professional qualifications. Workers were easily fired, and they had to bear harsh working conditions: long shifts from 14-16 hours; very low wages, either paid hourly or based on production; loud and constant noise from machinery; extremely high temperatures in summer and extremely low temperatures in winter, etc. Anywhere from 30 to 75 % of the industrial workforce was made up of women and children, who began working at very young ages.

In European cities, the bourgeoisie generally lived in the city centre or in residential neighbourhoods far from factories, and with solid infrastructure: wide, paved avenues, with sewers and lighting, shops, cafes, theatres, parks, etc.
I was born in France, but it was in Vienna that I wrote my first novel, An Old Girl, and in Switzerland that I published it. In addition to being a novelist, I was also a journalist,

Between 1467 and 1469 one of the main peasant revolts in the history of Europe took place in Galicia. In a time that was very troubled by the continuous War of the Bands and weak royal authority, the nobles increased their takings at the expense of the peasants, overwhelming them with taxes and abusive servitudes, and blackmailing monasteries and cathedrals in exchange for their armed protection, appropriating their lands and rights. Villages and cities suffered the same abuses from an armed nobility who behaved like criminals, they were known as malhechores (wrongdoers) for their conduct. The problem was common to the entire north of the peninsula.

A few years of epidemics, bad harvests and famines led the nobility to further increase pressure on the peasantry to recover their lost income. This caused the Galician peasantry to rebel against the lords. They did so with the permission of King Enrique IV and the support of the Church, they also received help from some nobles. The rebels were called the Santa Yrmandade, a movement that was also joined by people from the boroughs, artisans, fishermen ... acquiring around 80 000 thousand followers. The castles and fortresses of Galicia were seen as the centres of power of the malhechores and so a good many of them–more than 150–, ended up demolished. The nobles had to take refuge in Castilla and Portugal. In the end, the nobility reorganised and after negotiating with the Archbishop of Santiago and the king himself to recover the benefit of all, they formed three powerful armies that defeated the irmandiños, however, things never went back to the way they used to be in the kingdom of Galicia. Most of the castles were never built again. A few years later, the Catholic Monarchs obliged the demolition of those that remained to reinforce their power against the nobles, who were already installed in court and were looking for new forms of power and wealth by trying to get close to the monarchs and win their favour. The Galicia of castles and lords gave way to that of country houses and noblemen. The nobility of the sword was transformed into the nobility of the robe, and the modern State had begun.
5 Who supported the clergy in the beginning – the nobility or the Hermandad (Yrmandade) and why?
6 Use the table to classify who supported each group according to the text. Shoemaker, blacksmith, Count, sailor, hospital of Santiago, nuns, archbishop, doctor, priest, bourgeois. Irmandiños
Nobility
3 Repression was harsh. One of the captains of the nobility proposed “to fill the oak trees with vassals” – to hang the majority in retaliation for what the Hermandad (brotherhood) had done –, but a Count rejected this idea, stating that “the oak tree wouldn’t provide for him”. Reflect and explain in a short sentence the intention behind the Count’s response.
4 Organise each concept as the cause of the following one and the effect of the previous one: – peasant revolt – demolition of fortresses – famine – increased pressure from nobles – bad harvests – decline in income.
7 A peasant had to pay a tithe (the tenth part) of his harvest to the Church; then a third of the rest to the Lord in rent, and finally he had to reserve part for the following year’s seeds (the yield of a seed was 1 x 5). How much was left for a family to consume that had harvested ten sacks of grain?
10 Starting in the 16th century, the court –which in the Middle Ages moved across the country with the king–grew and ended up having a fixed headquarters, the capital; the first was in Valladolid and later Madrid. Point out some reason for this change according to the text.
11 The fortresses were a very safe haven for the gangs that served the nobility and who acted with impunity. The Catholic Monarchs ordered the demolition of many of them in the north of the peninsula, so that disobedient nobles could not take advantage of them. Point out the differences between a castle and a pazo in photo of Vista Alegre.
12 It’s common for people to complain about paying taxes. How are these situations resolved today?
8 Las Hermandades (Brotherhoods) – there were others apart from the Galician ones – are seen as the antecedent of the Xunta de Galicia and the Juntas of the Basque Country and the Principality of Asturias. Point out a cause that they may have in common according to the text.
9 Robes are a symbol of magistrates and high officials of the State. Indicate the difference between “nobility of the sword” and “nobility of the robe”.

Sarah Guppy My name is Sarah Guppy and I was born in Birmingham in 1770. After getting married, I moved to Bristol, where I have been living with my family for quite a few years. Due to my interest in mechanics, I have developed some useful devices, in this time in which machines are starting to become more common in our daily lives. One of these inventions has proven essential for the transport sector. It is a system of suspension for bridges which makes crossing long distances possible. Another one of my inventions is a device that protects boats and keeps their hull clean during voyages. During the Industrial Revolution, which began in Great Britain around 1780, means of transport developed considerably due to the modernization of communications. An extensive railway network was built, which allowed the trade of goods manufactured in factories. For a better understanding of the time of revolutions, you are going to learn about:

1 THE ROOTS OF
THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN GREAT BRITAIN (I)
Why in Great Britain?
ãã 1.1 The concept of the Industrial Revolution Strictly speaking, the Industrial Revolution may be understood as all the changes to goods production and consumption due to the incorporation of machines in industrial manufacturing. These transformations happened over a long period of time and by slow and constant processes, affecting other sectors and radically changing the previous economy and society. The start of these changes took place in Great Britain around 1780 due to favourable economic and demographic factors.
ãã 1.2 The Agricultural Revolution and its consequences
Agricultural activities experienced serious transformations, which were termed the ‘Agricultural Revolution’, led by Great Britain. They consisted of technical advances and changes to the system of land ownership.
Technical progress The crop cultivation system based on triennial rotation was substituted by the Norfolk four-course system, consisting of constant crop rotation, including fodder crops for livestock. Thus, the amount of livestock increased and provided more manure as fertiliser, as well as meat and milk, which improved human nutrition by increasing protein consumption.
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain because of the right combination of factors. Some of the main reasons were the existence of an entrepreneurial bourgeoisie, a former Agricultural Revolution, a demographic revolution, the capability of technical innovation, improved transport and a vast colonial empire which supplied raw materials and bought industrial products.
Other agricultural improvements were the spread of crops such as maize and potatoes, the use of seed drills and horse-drawn harvesters, the start of selective seeding, the selective breeding of livestock and Comprende, piensa, aplica... the first use of chemical fertilisers.
Changes in the system of land ownership The old open-field system, with large fields shared by the community, was not very productive. Hence, large English landowners pushed for Enclosures Acts (1845) to turn common land into private property, which it was obligatory to fence, or enclose. As a result, many poor peasants who did not have money to make fences had to sell their land to aristocrats, bourgeois and rich peasants, and become wage workers or emigrate to cities to look for industrial jobs.
The consequences of the Agricultural Revolution The main consequences of the Agricultural Revolution were the increase in agricultural production, the improvement in nutrition, the concentration of landownership, the reduction of the number of peasants and an increase in agricultural income. The profits gained also led to improved agricultural developments and investments in other areas, such as industry.

Unit 3
Agricultural transformations The Norfolk four-course system 2nd Viscount Charles Townshend was the creator of the Norfolk four-course system, which was a system of continuous rotation.
2
In this system, land was divided into four different sections, in which several crops were rotated continuously: wheat (1), which provided bread; turnips (2), which helped replenish the soil and were used to feed livestock; barley (3), which was used to make beer, meal and feed for livestock; and forage –alfalfa, clover (4)– to feed livestock.

The production of feed for livestock allowed for the increase in livestock farming. This, in turn, provided fertilisers, which increased cereal production, as well as meat and milk, which improved human diets.

The seed drill
C
The seed drill, designed by Jethro Tull in 1730, allowed seeds to be quickly sown and required only two men to do the work that would normally be done by 70 people in a day. It was horse-drawn (A) and had runners (B) to make furrows, which allowed seeds (C) to be sown at a certain depth and a press (D) which would then cover them, protecting them from the birds and the wind.

Evolution of the population Energy production England-Wales Spain
Millions
ãã 2.1 The demographic revolution The European population, especially in Britain, grew in the 18th century due to the Industrial Revolution and the so-called ‘demographic revolution’. The main cause of this growth was a decrease in mortality. This decrease was initially driven by improvements to nutrition, thanks to agricultural processes and the decline in major epidemics. Further along, the population grew as a result of progress in urban hygiene and medicine. The birth rate, on the other hand, remained high, causing a large natural population growth. The available workforce, as well as the demand for products, increased as a result of the demographic revolution. Moreover, agricultural and industrial innovations expanded as a way to accommodate this demand, and emigration to other continents increased.

ãã 2.2 Other basic factors Other factors that influenced the English Industrial Revolution were:
➜➜ Modernisation
of means of transport and transport networks. Domestic trade intensified thanks to the improvement of road surfaces and the construction of canals. Foreign trade, in turn, driven by the dominant British colonialism, reached a global level, and provided the industry with capital, raw materials such as cotton, and markets to sell their products.
➜➜ The growth of financial means. Profits from commerce and land were used to finance the most prosperous industrial sectors (mining, textile and steel). Moreover, the number of banks increased considerably.
➜➜ The availability of energy sources and raw materials. The Industrial Revolution in Great Britain had energy resources, such as coal, and raw materials, such as cotton and iron. The use of these resources was facilitated by several inventions, one of which was the steam engine, patented in 1769 by James Watt. 6

Unit 3
Other transformations associated with the Industrial Revolution Progress in transport In 1760, a Scottish engineer named John L. McAdam (1756-1836) pioneered a revolutionary system of road construction, known as the ‘macadam’. It consisted of using small, angular stones (1) that were laid in layers (2) and compacted thoroughly with cast-iron rollers and carriages (3). The surface had to be higher than the ground and slightly curved downward at the edges, so that water would flow into ditches on either side of the road.

The steam engine
A
B The inventor of the first useful steam engine was the Englishman Thomas Newcomen (1663-1729), who built a steam pump to extract water from mines (A). Later, the Scotsman James Watt perfected the system in 1765 and patented his steam engine (B), which first worked with wood and then with coal. The way the steam engine works is simple (C). Coal, burnt in a furnace, heats water in a boiler, which turns into steam. Through various mechanisms, the steam causes a continuous movement of a wheel that turns a transmission shaft, which, in turn, rotates the wheels connected to the machine.

OF INDUSTRY. THE FACTORY
Some textile machines Self-acting spinning mule
ãã 3.1 From the artisanal workshop to the factory In the Old Regime, industrial production was done in small workshops. In these workshops, specialised artisans worked using manual tools and sold their products in their own shops. With the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, the number of artisanal workshops began to decline, to the point of practically disappearing, and taking their place were factories, which were large buildings with many workers and machines powered by a common power supply. This transformation was possible thanks to the use of new techniques and a new division of labour.
➜➜ The new techniques consisted of substituting manual labour with

machines, which ran on powerful energy sources: first, water, and later steam, obtained by burning bituminous coal.
➜➜ The new division of labour consisted of separating the work process into different phases, or simple tasks, and assigning each worker a specific task. In this way, tasks could be done by unskilled labourers with the help of machines. These transformations enabled production to become faster, more abundant and cheaper, and replaced skilled and creative labour with routine and unskilled labour. The first industries to apply machinery in order to mass-produce products were the textile and steel industries.
Comprende, piensa, aplica... ã ã 3.2 The textile industry Technical innovations in the textile sector were driven by the increase in the demand for cotton fabrics, a consequence of population growth.
➜➜ To meet the growing demand, hydraulic machinery was first used, which forced factories to be located near rivers. Weavers were thus able to increase their weaving speed and the width of their fabrics, and spinners could spin several bobbins of thread at the same time.
➜➜ Later, machines driven by steam engines were used, such as the power loom and the first automatic spinning mule, known as the self-acting spinning mule. The large size of these machines helped consolidate the factory system, and the use of steam allowed factories to be located in cities. Moreover, cotton fabric became more popular than linen and wool, and British production grew exponentially and spread throughout the world.

ãã 3.3 The iron industry The iron industry produced iron. Before the Industrial Revolution it was melted in ovens, using wood and manual or hydraulic bellows, which limited production. Wood was then substituted by coal, thanks to the use of steam pumps, which allowed water to be pumped out of mines (1776), and machines were used to move the bellows that blew air into the blast furnace. Henry Cort improved iron production by inventing techniques to make it more resistant (puddling) and to better cast it (rolling). With these innovations, British iron production underwent large growth, and bituminous coal and iron became indispensable elements for the industrial age.

4 THE SPREAD OF
INDUSTRIALISATION Literature and History
The Industrial Revolution spread from Great Britain to other countries. The pace at which it spread varied due to different factors: the amount of natural resources (coal, iron and cotton), the amount of capital, population growth, product demand, political situation, etc.
ãã 4.1 The first wave of countries to industrialise The first countries to adopt industrialisation around 1830 were the ones closest to England (France, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany), or those with close ties to England (the United States). They adopted technology that had previously been implemented in Great Britain, and received specialised machines and technicians from England.
➜➜ France did not initially use steam due to the abundance of water resources. New textile and steel factories were located in northern France. The rest of its production consisted of traditional items for the country’s still predominantly rural society.
C RE AT E During the 19th century, working conditions in factories were extremely hard. Search for three of the best novels to describe the life of workers during the Industrial Revolution. Although those conditions seem to be a thing of the past, they are still a reality in some countries. Make a speech to deliver at the International Labour Organisation (ILO), an agency of the United Nations, in order to raise awareness on the fact that little has changed.
➜➜ Belgium experienced rapid industrial development, largely due to its large population growth, the availability of cheap transport (rivers and canals, railway networks) and financial investments. The textile sector benefited from an artisan tradition; the iron and steel industry from raw materials (coal and iron).
➜➜ Switzerland lacked natural resources but had specialised workers in the textile industry and in the use of high-precision machines (watches) and financial investments. This led to factories that produced luxury cotton fabric and machinery.
➜➜ Germany began promoting new industries starting in 1820 thanks to the coal mines in the regions of Ruhr, Saarland and Upper Silesia. But, the main push came after the creation of the Zollverein in 1834, which was a customs union that included Prussia and the central and southern German states. Industrialisation was stopped short due to political fragmentation and did not pick up again until 1850.
➜➜ The United States had several positive factors, such as vast land areas for growing cotton; mining resources; high demand, due to domestic growth and immigration; and the railway. The textile and steel sectors were located in the east and Midwest of the U.S.
ãã 4.2 The second wave of countries to industrialise
These countries began industrialisation from 1850 onwards. They lacked technological development, had poor natural resources, little demand and investment, and were geographically far from the main international trading hubs. This group comprised European countries to the north, to the south – Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece – and to the east – Austria-Hungary and Russia. Industrialisation in Japan was not entirely achieved until 1870, during the Meiji period.

5 THE ECONOMIC
CONSEQUENCES OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION The Industrial Revolution boosted the economy in its entirety, revolutionising transport, stimulating trade and leading to the growth of capitalism, given that factories needed increasing amounts of capital to finance their activities.
ãã 5.1 The revolution in transport Applying the steam engine to transport led to the creation of the steamboat and the railway. Moreover, transporting goods and people was done faster and cheaper, and load capacity increased.
➜➜ The steamboat was invented in 1807, when Robert Fulton applied the steam engine to boats. The first steamboats were riverboats, which used large paddle wheels; however, steam was not used for maritime transport until the invention of the iron hull and propeller (1830-1860). From that period on, countries began to modify their ports and build large canals between oceans to facilitate shipping. An example of one of these canals is the Suez Canal (1859-1869).
➜➜ The railway was developed when the locomotive was invented. A locomotive was a mobile steam engine that could pull cars on steel rails. The first railways were developed in Great Britain and used to transport goods between mines and ports on short-distance, level tracks. This new form of transport was not fully incorporated until George Stephenson designed the Rocket (1829), which was a locomotive capable of going up slopes, first used in 1830 on the Manchester-Liverpool line. From that point onwards, many countries began to build extensive rail networks.
ãã 5.2 The rise of trade

4 Look at the map and do the following tasks: a) Name the countries with railways that are more developed and those with railways that are less developed. b) Compare this map to the previous one about the spread of the Industrial Revolution. What relationship between the two can you see?
Domestic and foreign trade benefited from the increase in demand and production, and from the new means of transport. The growth in trade guaranteed food supply for the population. It also allowed industry to be supplied with raw materials and to sell its products, allowing each region to specialise in the production of goods that gave them the best advantage in competition.
ãã 5.3 The development of capitalism Industrialisation led to a new stage of capitalism, known as industrial capitalism, which slowly substituted the previous commercial capitalism. The first industries were small and were financed by individual or family capital, but as they grew, they demanded greater investments. In order to obtain these investments, they pushed for limited partnerships, in which partners provided capital and others administered it; and public limited companies whose capital was divided into small amounts, called shares. This way profit and risk was divided among a large number of shareholders. 12
Reconstruction of a train from the mid-19th century. Trains had a locomotive engine (1), next to a large barrel of water needed for the steam engine (2) and several cars or carriages. First-class cars (3) were closed, and second and third class cars (4 and 5) were normally open. Cargo cars (6) were also open.
Unit 3
The steamboat
The increase in these types of companies gave rise to the creation of stock markets, or the stock exchange, where shares were bought and sold by public limited companies, and also led to an increase in the number of banks, which invested the deposits of their clients in credits to companies, in businesses and in buying stock from industries. As these establishments grew in the first decades of the 19th century, they led to what is known as financial capitalism, based on gaining profit by buying and selling shares, financial products and securities.
ãã 5.4 The increase in economic inequality Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, countries began to be measured by their industrial power instead of their geographical size or military strength.
Steamboat in Mississippi river. In 1807, the American Robert Fulton steered his paddle steamer 240 km along the Hudson River, making the trip from New York to Albany. Commercial transport was then used on other rivers (Mississippi, Elba, Rhine) and across seas (1819).
Industrialisation led to a division between industrialised or developed countries, which began to control the world, and non-industrialised or developing countries that became dependent on industrialised countries.

6 THE SOCIAL
CONSEQUENCES OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Social classes in the city
The political revolutions and the Industrial Revolution led to a new class system, where social differences were based on personal merit, measured by wealth. In such a system, the dominant class included the bourgeoisie and the former nobility, which kept its property. The dominated class was made up of the proletariat (industrial workers) and peasants.
ãã 6.1 The rise of the bourgeoisie The bourgeoisie rose as a social group. They gained political power, became wealthy through their economic activities, formed part of an elite culture due to secondary and university education, and imposed their ideology, which was based on values of work, personal success, family and polite manners.
➜➜ The upper commercial and industrial bourgeoisie was at the top of this social group. Their wealth came from manufacturing (industrial companies and mines), businesses (banks, insurance companies, railway financing, speculating on urban property, etc.), and agricultural exploitations.
➜➜ The petite bourgeoisie, or middle class, was made up of small merchants and industrialists, civil servants and members of liberal professions, such as doctors and lawyers. In European cities, the bourgeoisie generally lived in the city centre or in residential neighbourhoods far from factories, and with solid infrastructure: wide, paved avenues, with sewers and lighting, shops, cafes, theatres, parks, etc.
ãã 6.2 The birth of the proletariat
At the beginning of industrialisation, the bourgeoisie and proletariat lived together in the same neighbourhoods, sometimes even in the same buildings, of large European cities. The best flats were occupied by the wealthier class and the worst flats and attics by wage workers. Later on, when urban growth forced the medieval walls to be brought down, cities expanded and the different social classes lived in separate neighbourhoods, whose characteristics reflected the owners’ level of wealth.
Industrial workers made up a new social group, called the proletariat*, comprising peasants who had migrated to the cities and former artisans who had gone bankrupt due to industrial mechanisation. It was a cheap workforce who had hardly any professional qualifications. Workers were easily fired, and they had to bear harsh working conditions: long shifts from 14-16 hours; very low wages, either paid hourly or based on production; loud and constant noise from machinery; extremely high temperatures in summer and extremely low temperatures in winter, etc. Anywhere from 30 to 75 % of the industrial workforce was made up of women and children, who began working at very young ages. They did not have insurance for accidents, illness, job loss or retirement, and at factories they were treated with strict discipline and were punished for leaving their workstation or talking while working. In the cities, the proletariat lived in overcrowded neighbourhoods, located near the factories or ports, which had poor sanitation.

The working conditions of industrial workers were appalling. The work was carried out in unhealthy factories, at a rate imposed by the machines with noise and pollution and under strict discipline. Accidents, illnesses and early death were frequent. In working-class families, all their members worked, even young boys and girls. The wages were very low, especially those of women and children, who received lower wages than men.

In that factory there were around fifty children about my age; there were always half a dozen sick, due to excessive work (...). Children were kept working with blows from the leather straps. That was the main job of a foreman. At that time, my brother and sister were working like me. They were often ill; my brother John died three years ago. He was sixteen years and eight months old.

7 THE LABOUR MOVEMENT ãã 7.1 From protest to union The deplorable conditions of the proletariat, as well as their political marginalisation and the lack of labour legislation, led to the labour movement. It was made up of a group of proletariat organisations that fought for a better economic and political situation, and their collective actions.
➜➜ In the beginning, the labour movement consisted of protests against mechanisation, including the destruction of the new machines (Luddites), blaming them for their situation. The working class also created friendly societies, in which members paid a fee and received aid in the case of job loss or accidents. They also made several ‘petitions to Parliament’, demanding the end of abuse by management.
➜➜ At a later date, trade unions, or workers’ associations, were then created. Their objectives were to improve labour conditions by reducing the length of the working day, increasing wages, obtaining political rights (association, universal suffrage), and organising ways to fight for their rights, through negotiations, protests and strikes. The first trade unions were formed in Great Britain, where they were legalised by Parliament in 1825.

Parallel to the development of trade unions, workers began a political battle with the goal of achieving equal rights. Thus, Chartism arose in Great Britain, followed by two other new ideologies that ran counter toComprende, capitalism: socialism, or Marxism, and anarchism. piensa, aplica...
➜➜ The term Chartism comes from the People’s Charter, which was a document sent to the British Parliament in 1838 by the London Workingmen’s Association. In the Charter they demanded, among other rights, secret ballots, universal male suffrage and yearly elections for Parliament.
➜➜ Socialism was developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Its objective was to end private property, considered to be the cause for the separation between the bourgeoisie, who were the owners of the means of production, and the proletariat, who, lacking property, had to sell their work in exchange for miserable wages. To achieve their objective, Marxists proposed a revolution directed by the socialist party, which would bring the proletariat to power. Once this was achieved, a transitory dictatorship would be established (dictatorship of the proletariat) while common ownership would be implemented and a society without classes and without a State would be formed. 18

➜➜ Anarchism was founded by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Mikhail Bakunin, among others. Its objective was to achieve maximum individual freedom by eliminating anything that limited this freedom: the State, private property or religious beliefs. To achieve these goals, Bakunin proposed a spontaneous revolution, led by peasants and the proletariat. After victory, the State would be abolished and substituted by egalitarian communities, with equal production and consumption.
ãã 7.3 The First International In 1864, the desire to fight against capitalism on an international level gave rise to the International Workingmen’s Association (IWA), or the First International, founded in London. It integrated several trade unions from different countries, socialists and anarchists. However, internal disputes between Marxists and anarchists led to its dissolution in 1876.
Mining Act It prohibited all females and boys under 10 years old from working underground in coal mines. The working day for women was reduced to 12 hours.

ãã 8.1 Culture, science and technology ➜➜ The culture of the era was characterised by secularisation, or a lesser degree of religious influence, as well as by obligatory and free public education for primary school, which included women for the first time, and by the growing influence of the press and public opinion.
➜➜ Literature followed two main currents. Romanticism was expressed in different genres, such as poetry (Lord Byron), theatre (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) and the novel (Victor Hugo). Realism reflected the problems caused by industrialisation in novels by Stendhal and Charles Dickens.
➜➜ Science notably progressed, above all in physics, chemistry and natural sciences, with the revolutionary theory of the evolution of the species by Charles Darwin. Technology was demonstrated to the public in world’s fairs, like the Great Exhibition held in London in 1851.

➜➜ Sculpture was characterised by movement and facial expressions. One of the most famous works is the relief ‘La Marseillaise’, by François Rude.
➜➜ Painting gave great importance to colour, light, movement and expressiveness. The main topics were present and past realities, costumbrismo, depicting everyday reality and exotic scenes, passion and love, disasters and tragedies, as well as landscapes. In France, prominent painters were Théodore Gericault with The Raft of the Medusa; and Eugène Delacroix, with Liberty Leading the People. In England, Romantic painting spawned an important school of landscape painters, such as John Constable and Joseph Mallord William Turner.

Realism Realism developed in the period from the Revolution of 1848 to the 1870s and was characterised by its inspiration coming from reality and the representation of daily issues of common people. The most well-known proponents of this style were painters. Jean-François Millet reflected the life of a traditional peasant in The Angelus; Gustave Comprende, piensa, Courbet showed the aplica... harsh reality of work for commoners in The Stone Breakers; and Honoré Daumier painted moments of everyday life in The Third-Class Carriage and The Laundress.

‘Since the opposition of the populace to the use of machines for shortening labour has been quelled by convincing them of their utility, spinning factories have been erected throughout all the surrounding country near Bolton, especially where water is plentiful … [In Dukinfield] The cotton trade introduced here, while it affords employment to all ages, has debilitated all the constitutions and retarded the growth of many, and made an alarming increase in mortality. The effect is greatly to be attributed to the pernicious custom, so properly reprobated by Doctor Percival and other physicians, of making the children in the mills work day and night … ’.

The Stone Breakers by Gustave Courbet
PROTAGONISTS Basic information
Name: Victoire Léodile Béra, known as André Léo Nationality: French Period: 1824-1900 Profession: novelist, journalist, feminist and member of the First International
I was born in France, but it was in Vienna that I wrote my first novel, An Old Girl, and in Switzerland that I published it. In addition to being a novelist, I was also a journalist,

signing with the pseudonym André Léo, which I took from the names of my twin sons. In my press articles I analysed the working conditions of the proletariat and always defended the need to create workers' associations. That revolutionary spirit united me with my grandfather, founder in 1791 of the Society of Friends of the Constitution. I returned to France in 1860 and became friends with the feminist Paule Minck. In 1866 I founded the Association for the Improvement of the Education of Women and in 1868 I published a text that defended the equality of the sexes.
National Narrative Prize due to the rebellious and anti-establishment spirit of the author. Some may not agree with her way of thinking or with her statements, but her contribution to the literature of the moment should not be doubted, something that was previously recognised with other awards and scholarships.
Cristina Morales was born almost a century after André Leo, but they are united, in addition to their dedication to literature, by an anarchist, feminist and revolutionary spirit.
As I had always been a supporter of labour unionism, I joined the International Association of Workers and actively participated in the Paris Commune, although I opposed the ban on opposition newspapers, as I believed that it was necessary to respect plurality to differentiate ourselves from our enemies. During my exile in Switzerland, and on my travels through Europe, I observed the harsh living conditions of proletarian women and the lack of equal rights between men and women; therefore, I continue to play an active role in the fight for gender equality.
QUESTIONS
IN THE PAST Victoire Léodile Béra
1 André Léo was a member of the International Workers Association (IWA / AIT). Look for information on another woman who was part of the AIT and write a biographical note.
2 Cristina Morales belongs to the Acció Llibertaria de Sants, an anarchist association in Barcelona. Remember what you have studied in this unit and briefly explain the characteristics of anarchism.
Cristina won the Premio Herralde (2018) and the Premio Nacional de Narrativa (2019) with Lectura Fácil, a crude and unconventional novel. Its protagonists are four disabled young intellectuals who provide a very critical vision of institutions and capitalism from an anarchistic perspective, in addition to a stark analysis of machismo and different political ideologies.
In her literary work, Cristina Morales allows us to learn about the lives of very different women, such as young women from Barcelona in Lectura Fácil, or the famous Teresa de Jesús in Malas palabras where Cristina steps into the shoes of the nun from Ávila and writes her diary in the first person. Cristina considers her to be one of the first writers to denounce women’s lack of freedom, vindicating a need to restudy this historical person.
