Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, women in both upper and lower classes faced gender - based discrimination. Societal norms of the time placed men in positions of power and privilege. Lower - class women worked long hours in factories for low pay, while upper - class women, although not in factory labor, were restricted in terms of property rights, educational opportunities, and political participation compared to men of their class.

Answer:

A. Both groups were treated unfairly and unequally compared with men of their class.
