Book Description
Women in the Printing Trades: A Sociological Study is a work by various authors. It investigates the work and role of women in printing trades during the early 20th century. Excerpt: "The subdivision of labour which has broken up the original printing "profession" into a score or so of different trades, each minutely subdivided in turn, has been the chief cause of the employment of women in this industry in modern times, although it appears that nuns were engaged as compositors at the Ripoli Monastery Press in Florence towards the end of the fifteenth century, within half a century of the introduction of printing. Only very exceptional women could obtain a footing in a profession which embraced typefounding, ink-making, press-carpentry, composing, folding, and bookbinding."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Printing Trades and Their Workers The Research Section sponsors a Coordination Plan with nine member organizations, which agree to conform to the standards of the Section In making studies Of occupations. A description Of this plan, with approved outlines for making studies, can be found in an article by Miss Mary P. Corre In the May 1931 number Of the Vocational Guidance Magazine. Four of the members Of the Coordination Plan (the public school guidance bureaus Of Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Detroit) had published pamphlets on. The printing trades, which they agreed might be used as a basis for the present monograph. The author had access also to other research material of value: in particular to a pamphlet on The Print ing Trades prepared by the Kiwanis Club Of New York City, under the direction of the National Junior Personnel Service; to an unpublished study on the printing industry by the Children's Bureau; and to Lane's book, Occupations in Industry, Vol. III. Since the studies drawn upon carry references to sources Of material they are not repeated here. Additional research, including some establishment visits, was necessary before the manuscript was complete. All material has been rewritten from a new point Of view, but with the standard outlines of the Section as a guide.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women in the Printing Trades: A Sociological Study My only qualification for writing this preface is the circumstance that, as a representative of the Royal Economic Society, I attended the meetings of the Committee appointed to direct and conduct the investigations of which the results are summarised in the following pages. From what I saw and heard at those meetings I received the impression that the evidence here recorded was collected with great diligence and sifted with great care. It seems to constitute a solid contribution to a department of political economy which has perhaps not received as much attention as it deserves. Among the aspects of women's work on which some new light has been thrown, is the question why women in return for the same or a not very different amount of work should often receive very much less wages. It is a question which not only in its bearing on social life is of the highest practical importance, but also from a more abstract point of view is of considerable theoretical interest, so far as it seems to present the paradox of entrepreneurs paying at very different rates for factors of production which are not so different in efficiency. The question as stated has some resemblance to the well-known demand for an explanation which Charles II. preferred to the Royal Society: there occurs the preliminary question whether the circumstance to be explained exists. The alleged disproportion between the remuneration of men and women is indeed sometimes only apparent, or at least appears to be greater than it is really. Often, however, it is real and great where it is not apparent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This Element analyses the relationship between gender and literary letterpress printing from the early 20th century to the beginning of the 21st. Drawing on examples from modernist writer/printers of the 1920s to literary book artists of the early 21st, it offers a way of thinking about the feminist historiography of printing as we confront the presence and particular character of letterpress in a digital age. This Element is divided into four sections: the first, 'Historicizing' traces the critical histories of women and print through to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The second section, 'Learning,' offers an analysis of some of the modes of discourse and training through which women and gender minorities have learned the craft of printing. The third section, 'Individualizing' offers brief biographical vignettes. The fourth section, 'Writing,' focuses on printers' own written reflections about letterpress. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
