aug 1, 1842 - Mine and Collieries Act 1842 becomes law

Description:

The Mine and Collieries Act forbade women and male children under the age of 10 from working underground. This is the first modern labor safety law, and is also reflective of emergent social norms about the place of women in the workplace (which is to say, not).
