Book Description
Excerpt from Women Workers in Seven Professions: A Survey of Their Economic Conditions and Prospects; Edited for the Studies Committee of the Fabian Women's Group The present economic position of women bristles with anomalies. It is the outcome of long ages of semi-serfdom, when women toiled continuously to produce wealth, which, if they were married, they could enjoy only at the good pleasure of their lords, - ages when the work of most women was conditioned and subordinated by male dominance. Yet in those days the working housewife com manded the consideration always conceded to a bread-winner - even when dependent. In modern times women's economic position has been under mined by the helpless dependence engendered amongst the well-to-do by parasitism resulting from nineteenth century luxury to quote the striking word of Olive Schreiner. Similarly, dependence has been forced upon large sections of women-folk amongst the manual workers by the loss of their hold upon land and by the decay of home industries. N ow a new force is at work: the revolt of the modern woman against parasitism and dependence in all their forms her demand for freedom to work and to Choose her sphere of work, as well as for the right to dispose of what she gains.

George Gissing, the Working Woman, and Urban Culture
Author: Emma LigginsPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351933973
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
George Gissing's work reflects his observations of fin-de-siècle London life. Influenced by the French naturalist school, his realist representations of urban culture testify to the significance of the city for the development of new class and gender identities, particularly for women. Liggins's study, which considers standard texts such as The Odd Women, New Grub Street, and The Nether World as well as lesser known short works, examines Gissing's fiction in relation to the formation of these new identities, focusing specifically on debates about the working woman. From the 1880s onward, a new genre of urban fiction increasingly focused on work as a key aspect of the modern woman's identity, elements of which were developed in the New Woman fiction of the 1890s. Showing his fascination with the working woman and her narrative potential, Gissing portrays women from a wide variety of occupations, ranging from factory girls, actresses, prostitutes, and shop girls to writers, teachers, clerks, and musicians. Liggins argues that by placing the working woman at the center of his narratives, rather than at the margins, Gissing made an important contribution to the development of urban fiction, which increasingly reflected current debates about women's presence in the city.
