Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of the economic records of self-supporting women living in New York City in the early 20th century. The author supplemented the personal accounts with information obtained from night schools and clubs, creating economic profiles of women who worked as factory… workers, saleswomen, and laundry workers. Common conditions experienced by these women included low wages, casual employment, heavy spending on laundry and clothing, and lack of benefits such as paid vacations. Clothing was especially expensive for these women, with some spending nearly three times as much as they could afford on clothing items like shirtwaists. The author also discusses the lack of opportunity for women within certain industries and the resulting stagnation in their wages. This book serves as an important historical document giving voice to a largely unheard population and revealing the poor working conditions for women in the early 20th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
