I wouldn't find myself fleeing. Why would I?

Factory Worker

Governor/Governess

Fake-flower Maker

Business Worker

How would you describe yourself based on these choices?

You let your emotions guide you

You are cautious and take a step back

You don't think of the aftermath of a situation

You are currently working in a factory. How are the conditions?

Very good conditions. A clean work space with friendly owners!

Mediocre, modern day workplace. Nice enough people, okay enough conditions.

Bad! Awful, trash everywhere with a lack of breathing room and TERRIBLE owners!

If you were to be faced with the option of being a striker for rights in 1900-1911, how would you approach the opportunity?

I am not going to do anything. Only men deserve rights and it should stay that way.

I will do anything and everything to gain rights for women. I will be beaten, I will be unfairly treated, and I will go to jail if I must!

I want everybody to have rights! I can peacefully attend strikes while keeping myself safe.

Which of these do you feel describes you best? Pt. 2

Constantly worried of how others think of you

Switching between present and future realities

Floats along a stream of other people and their decisions

You learn note the factory is dirty, there are no safe fire escapes, you get cheated of your money, you're treated harshly, and you work for 12 hours straight. How do you feel?

This is terribly unfair. I will protest and stand up for myself! I will strike!

I'd love to do something, but there's nothing I can think of. I'll just leave it be and be thankful that I even have a job.

I don't want to do anything. There is no hope and I don't need to go around protesting for anything! Especially not something I am afraid of and don't want to do.
