Urbanization: the shift from rural to urban areas Labor demands for a shorter work day enabled many urban residents to engage in newly popular sports Metropolitan residents became more worldly because of newspapers and periodicals Traditional Victorian values were challenged

Education Classical liberals believed that public education was the cornerstone of any democracy Many stated offered free education but economic realities kept children working in mines, factories, etc. By 1890, it was law in Massachusetts for children 6-10 to attend school at least 20 weeks a year Mandatory elementary education began to spread throughout the country Under the Jim Crow Laws, schools in the south were entirely segregated The nation's illiteracy rate was cut nearly in half

Women in the Gilded Age Maternal commonwealth was taking the women’s sphere, caretaking, piety, and purity, out of the home and putting it in the work place. Many educated women thought a prohibition of alcohol would solve some of society’s problems like domestic violence and neglect Jane Adams founded the Hull House, the first settlement house Women took new jobs in the city, such as clerical jobs, switchboard operators, and sales positions in department stores

J. S. Sargent: Mrs. Fiske Warren and Daughter, 1903 Women in the Gilded Age cont. Whistler: Symphony in White, No. 1: The White Girl, 1862 "Household Decoration" (Charles Dana Gibson, from book of his latest drawings and cartoons, publ. in 1916)

Different spheres of life or men and women Men - wage work and politics Women - domestic work and childbearing Industrialization and urbanization made challenges -Attitudes towards sex weren't publicly expressed Victoria Woodhull "professed the right to free love" Woodhull was the first female to run for president Comstock law - "banning all mailings of materials of sexual nature" Over 3,000 arrests Sexual expression was later accepted Victorian Values in a New Age

The Linotype machine allowed for much faster printing Elizabeth Gilmer became the nation’s first advice columnist in 1896 Competition between publishers Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolf Hearst called for twisting the truth a little, also known as sensationalism With sensationalism, Pulitzer increased the circulation of his newspaper from 20,000 readers to 100,000 in a year. As a result from the Print Revolution, Americans became more literate and better informed. The Print Revolution
