The harsh working of women

The lyrics from "Song of the Shirt" illustrate how hard and rough women's life were back in the days. Their work seemed endless, working from day to night, every single day of the week. They were worn out and exhausted and didnt even get any breaks, and what's even worse, is how little they were paid. The three main ideas of this song were women, religion, rich and poor. Poor, hungry, and dirty, women just stitched, stitched, and stitched all day. This shows how cruel and bad women were treated in the past, and how their lives basically was made up of work everyday and nothing else. After reading the lyrics of this song, I sympathize women for how they were treated at that time yet very proud of their perseverance.
