Explanation:

Joan Dash provided a poignant and eye-opening historical account of the women's factory strike of 1909 in "We Shall Not Be Moved." This provides an insight into what the condition was like for women and also how the Women's Trade Union League came to be.

In the given passage from the text, the narrator reveals how the women's demand was simple: "a fifty-two-hour week with extra pay for overtime, an end to the fines and petty tyrannies, and a living wage." And in order to understand what the basis of the demands were, we have to know the situation of workers, especially female workers during the early 1990s. And the fact that women workers were expected to work for long hours, at times even up to eighty hours a week was too much for any living being to endure.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
