  4. Factory Act of 1847 • The Factory Act of 1847, also known as the Ten Hours Act, restricted the working hours of women and children in British factories to effectively 10 hours per day. The bill was introduced unsuccessfully several times before Parliament finally passed it in 1847. • The Factory Act of 1847 stipulated that as of July 1, 1847, women and children between the ages of 13 and 18 could work only 63 hours per week. The bill further stipulated that as of May 1, 1848, women and children 13-18 could work only 58 hours per week, which is the equivalent of 10 hours per day.

  5. Luddite • The Luddites were a social movement of British textile artisans in the nineteenth century who protested – often by destroying mechanised looms – against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt were leaving them without work and changing their way of life. It took its name from Ned Ludd. • In modern usage, "Luddite" is a term describing those opposed to industrialisation, automation, computerisationor new technologies in general
