Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Millinery Trade, in Boston and Philadelphia: A Study of Women in Industry As the increasing use of machinery in production gradually made possible the substitution of the unskilled labor of women for the more skilled labor of men, emphasis was changed from the usefulness of manufactures in affording employment for 'otherwise idle persons' to the supposed competition of women with men and to the evil effects of such rivalry upon the wages, hours and general conditions of men's labor. This point of view characterized much of the trade-union arguments in the United States during the thirties and forties. The report of the com mittee on female labor of the National Trades' Union conven tion of 1836 contains the following These evils themselves (of the effect of female labor on the health and morals of the workers) are great, and call loudly for a speedy cure; but still another objection to the' system arises, which, if possible, is productive of the other evils, namely, the ruinous competition brought in active opposition to male labor, actually producing a reversion of the very good intended to do the guardian or parent, causing the destruction of the end which it aims to benefit; because, when the employer finds, as he surely will, that female assistance will compress his ends, of course the work man is discharged, or reduced to a corresponding rate of wages with the female operative. 1 Thus the question of women's labor was treated as subsidiary to the greater and more impor tant one of men's labor.

Excerpt: ...parlors, seldom dismiss all their employees during the dull season. Only four small stores reported no workers in the slack months. In Philadelphia a larger number of stores employed no workers during the dull season--33 of the 67 reporting. Information as to seasons obtained through conversation with employers has been supplemented and made more exact by data taken from Boston millinery pay rolls. Complete pay rolls for the year 1912 were secured from 3 department stores, 2 wholesale millinery establishments and 2 millinery parlors; incomplete pay rolls were obtained from 1 department and 1 millinery store. One cannot generalize from such insufficient data, but certain tendencies may be noted. TABLE 7. SHOWING THE REDUCTION IN SIZE OP WORKROOM FORCE DURING THE DULL SEASON IN BOSTON. BASED ON REPORTS PROM EMPLOYERS. i Two department stores, 1 millinery store, and 3 millinery parlors did not report as to number employed in the busy season. The rate of reduction in the size of the workroom force during the dull season is, according to reports from employers, about the same for two cities. At the height of the busy season--as shown by Table 7--1,429 girls are employed in 97 millinery workrooms in Boston. In 76 shops 143 workers were employed TABLE 8. SHOWING THE REDUCTION IN SIZE OF WORKROOM FORCE DURING THE DULL SEASON IN PHILADELPHIA. BASED ON REPORTS FROM EMPLOYERS. 1 In the totals for the busy season are included 165 workers not classified by occupation, and omitted in Table 4. One wholesale house and 1 millinery store did not report as to busy season employment.

Download or read book The Education Trap written by Cristina Viviana Groeger and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why—contrary to much expert and popular opinion—more education may not be the answer to skyrocketing inequality. For generations, Americans have looked to education as the solution to economic disadvantage. Yet, although more people are earning degrees, the gap between rich and poor is widening. Cristina Groeger delves into the history of this seeming contradiction, explaining how education came to be seen as a panacea even as it paved the way for deepening inequality. The Education Trap returns to the first decades of the twentieth century, when Americans were grappling with the unprecedented inequities of the Gilded Age. Groeger’s test case is the city of Boston, which spent heavily on public schools. She examines how workplaces came to depend on an army of white-collar staff, largely women and second-generation immigrants, trained in secondary schools. But Groeger finds that the shift to more educated labor had negative consequences—both intended and unintended—for many workers. Employers supported training in schools in order to undermine the influence of craft unions, and so shift workplace power toward management. And advanced educational credentials became a means of controlling access to high-paying professional and business jobs, concentrating power and wealth. Formal education thus became a central force in maintaining inequality. The idea that more education should be the primary means of reducing inequality may be appealing to politicians and voters, but Groeger warns that it may be a dangerous policy trap. If we want a more equitable society, we should not just prescribe more time in the classroom, but fight for justice in the workplace.

Download or read book Women and the City written by Sarah Deutsch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-06-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 70 years between the Civil War and World War II, the women of Boston changed the city dramatically. From anti-spitting campaigns and demands for police mothers to patrol local parks, to calls for a decent wage and living quarters, women rich and poor, white and black, immigrant and native-born struggled to make a place for themselves in the city. Now, in Women and the City historian Sarah Deutsch tells this story for the first time, revealing how they changed not only the manners but also the physical layout of the modern city. Deutsch shows how the women of Boston turned the city from a place with no respectable public space for women, to a city where women sat on the City Council and met their beaux on the street corners. The book follows the efforts of working-class, middle-class, and elite matrons, working girls and "new women" as they struggled to shape the city in their own interests. And in fact they succeeded in breathtaking fashion, rearranging and redefining the moral geography of the city, and in so doing broadening the scope of their own opportunities. But Deutsch reveals that not all women shared equally in this new access to public space, and even those who did walk the streets with relative impunity and protested their wrongs in public, did so only through strategic and limited alliances with other women and with men. A penetrating new work by a brilliant young historian, Women and the City is the first book to analyze women's role in shaping the modern city. It casts new light not only on urban history, but also on women's domestic lives, women's organizations, labor organizing, and city politics, and on the crucial connections between gender, space, and power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Female Economy explores that lost world of women's dominance, showing how independent, often ambitious businesswomen and the sometimes imperious consumers they served gradually vanished from the scene as custom production gave way to a largely unskilled modern garment industry controlled by men. Wendy Gamber helps overturn the portrait of wage-earning women as docile souls who would find fulfillment only in marriage and motherhood.
