Excerpt from War Work for Women The following list has been prepared by the Information Department of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense in response to requests which have come from the many women who wish to find the kind of war service for which they are best fitted. It includes occupations, both paid and volunteer, now open to women in war work, and the addresses to which application may be made for further information. The list is not considered authoritative in any sense, as rapidly changing conditions make it impossible to keep out inaccuracies. The information given is not definite in every instance, but it is the best available at the present time.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women and War Work An unsolicited testimonial, this, of the most genuine kind. The College students Of today are not easily coaxed into lecture rooms outside of their own classes. I believe that Miss Fraser's book will be read with the same eager attention that followed her first speeches in this country as She began her work of educating American women to a sense of what the mobilization of the entire citizen army of a democracy must mean.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women's Work in War Time AN power is rightly accounted one of the decisive elements in the world war. But Woman power also must be included in any survey of the myriad forces enlisted in the tremendous conflict. Such a war, summoning all the energies of nations, has revealed to the belligerent powers a huge reservoir of latent human energy in their women, and even their children. Woman in the harvest fields had before now been a common sight in Europe; but to-day her toil has been almost infinitely multiplied in amount, scope and in its sources of social origin. What Europe has achieved, and what mistakes Europe has made, are to-day Of keen interest to the employers Of America, now that we are ourselves in the war and are facing a steadily growing shortage Of labor.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women War Workers: Accounts Contributed by Representative Workers of the Work Done by Women in the More Important Branches of War Employment They are not given to self-advertisement; the girl-worker in a high-explosive factory who goes home every night with clothes stained yellow has no need to tell any one what her share in the struggle is. Neither is any one who has seen a bus-conductress at the end of a day's work likely to forget that women do man's work.' I have talked to practically a whole street of women, widowed or bereaved by a naval engagement, and met with nothing but high courage and of all parts played by women in this war surely none is harder than this.

Excerpt from Women, or Chronicles of the Late War A true artist, before he touches his canvas, paints upon the retina of his mind's eye a perfect representation of the scene he wishes to portray with the skilful pencil of his fancy here deepening a shade and there developing an expression, until he sees it the perfect embodiment of his idea; nor does he rest satisfied until the glowing canvas presents a re ection of this, its original.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women's Work in War Time: A Handbook of Employments "The Women are splendid." That was the title which I gave in 1914 to an article on the women who are helping to win the war. Within the moderate compass of some 160 pages the writer of this compact volume develops this agreeable theme. The way in which the women of the Empire have rallied in hundreds of thousands to its aid in the hour of need is one of the most remarkable, though not unexpected, features of the war on its "home front." In days of old the brave women of Carthage sacrificed their tresses - their "crown of glory" - to make ropes for their soldiers. The women of the Empire are not called upon to do that, but gladly and willingly vast numbers of them are sacrificing their time and energy - in some cases, it is to be feared, even their health - in working by day or by night to supply our fighting forces with munitions of war and in many other directions not less important. Mrs. Usborne's volume is divided into two sections. Part I. consists of a guide to employment. Many women are asking, "What can I do? How can I help my country?" Here will be found the answers to such questions. In Part II. the authoress compiles a series of chapters from different pens, describing in some detail many of the vocations enumerated in Part I.

Excerpt from Woman and War: From Woman and Labor And perhaps be well, that a, dividing line of some kind should be drawn between the occupations of men and of 'women? Would it not, for example, be possible that woman should retain agriculture, textile manufacture, trade, domestic manage ment, the education of youth, and medicine, in addition to child-bear ing, as 'her exclusive fields of toil; while to the male should be left the-study of abstract science, law and war, and statecraft; as Of old, man took war and the chase, and woman.

Book Description
Excerpt from The War and the Women Electricians divide bodies by the resistance they offer to the passage of electric force as calculated in ohms. Humanity may be divided into classes by the resistance they offer to new ideas. The Americans, for example, have a small ohmage, the English a high. Judged by the evolution of their women, old countries like Sweden and Finland are less resistant than even the New World. In Eng land woman has not moved a step in any direction without a hue and cry. Tragical is the story of the first medical pioneers, and equality with the man physician is even yet not won, though every new female doctor is now hailed as a godsend by the male millions engaged night and day in making work for her. The lost volts is the pathetic name for the units of electricity wasted through resistance. What a ghastly waste of human force this British bulldoggedness is answerable for!
