Book Description
Excerpt from Woman, and Her Place in a Free Society She, more and more, accepting as inevitable the situation; moving, sad-eyed, to her patient and uncom plaining work; to the narrow sphere and petty details of household labor and life, and to the obscurity of unrecognised cares and interests; filling the world with her myriad nameless unrecorded acts of tenderness and love, of drudgery and daily tendance, of patience and self-effacement, little noticed and less understood; yet all the while with her own impulses and character, her own talents and genius, smothered away and blighted by confinement and neglect; her brain dwarfed; and her outlook on the world marred by all falsity and ignorance. Guchhasbeenatheufateigf., w.qman through the centuries. Till at last, becoming indeed only too firmed to the external conditions of her life, she has often even mentally lapsed into the chattel and property of the male, and (like the wage-earner) been able only to see her good in clinging for support to the very person who used her for his profit and his pleasure.

Pages : 230
Book Description
Excerpt from The Woman Worker and the Trade Unions There is only a very small proportion Of working women in the trade unions of the United States. Of some eight and a half million women in industry, a very small percentage either use the union as their economic weapon or are benefited by it. Why is it that women workers who have been in industry fully as long a time as their brothers, though not in as great numbers, are not organised economically? Are they incapable Of being organised? Have women inherent characteristics which make them unamenable to the discipline Of the organised group? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women and the Labor Movement I record here my thanks to Miss Sarah C. Rippey, to Miss Gail Wilson, and to Miss Frances Bird and other friends for additional assistance. A few pages have seen the light previously, in Life and Labor and elsewhere. It would be impossible to cover so much fresh ground Without falling into some error. May I ask it as a favor from readers that they will be so kind as to let me know when they come across any such evidence of familiar human fallibility?

What a Woman Ought to Be and to Do
Author: Stephanie J. ShawPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226751309
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
Stephanie J. Shaw takes us into the inner world of American black professional women during the Jim Crow era. This is a story of struggle and empowerment, of the strength of a group of women who worked against daunting odds to improve the world for themselves and their people. Shaw's remarkable research into the lives of social workers, librarians, nurses, and teachers from the 1870s through the 1950s allows us to hear these women's voices for the first time. The women tell us, in their own words, about their families, their values, their expectations. We learn of the forces and factors that made them exceptional, and of the choices and commitments that made them leaders in their communities. What a Woman Ought to Be and to Do brings to life a world in which African-American families, communities, and schools worked to encourage the self-confidence, individual initiative, and social responsibility of girls. Shaw shows us how, in a society that denied black women full professional status, these girls embraced and in turn defined an ideal of "socially responsible individualism" that balanced private and public sphere responsibilities. A collective portrait of character shaped in the toughest circumstances, this book is more than a study of the socialization of these women as children and the organization of their work as adults. It is also a study of leadership—of how African American communities gave their daughters the power to succeed in and change a hostile world.
Women's Work (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Women's Work The writers of the present volume have a purely practical object in view. They have no desire to discuss, theoretically, the duties, rights, and responsibilities of women. They consider that it would be unwise to give prominence to considerations affecting the political or social position of women, in a work dealing specially with their industrial situation. On the other hand, they are fully aware that there is a necessary connection between the views which appear to be in course of formation as to the proper position of women in the labour market, and the change which has taken place in the standpoint from which all questions - even the most abstract - regarding the condition of women are now discussed. Various reforms have been forced on us within the last thirty years through the necessity of recognising, legally and socially, that development in the relations of women to the state and to society which has been brought about by the pressure of the altered circumstances of modern life.
