Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and the Trades has long been regarded as a masterwork in the field of social investigation. Originally published in 1909, it was one of six volumes of the path breaking Pittsburgh Survey, the first attempt in the United States to study, systematically and comprehensively, life and labor in one industrial city. No other book documents so precisely the many technological and organizational changes that transformed women's wage work in the early 1900s. Despite Pittsburgh's image as a male-oriented steel town, many women also worked for a living-rolling cigars, canning pickles, or clerking in stores. The combination of manufacturing, distribution, and communication services made the city of national economic developments. What Butler found in her visits to countless workplaces did not flatter the city, its employers, or its wage earners. With few exceptions, labor unions served the interests of skilled males. Women's jobs were rigidly segregated, low paying, usually seasonal, and always insecure. Ethnic distinctions erected powerful barriers between different groups of women, as did status hierarchies based on job function. Professor Maurine Weiner Greenwald's introduction provides biographical sketches of Butler and photographer Lewis Hine and examines the validity of Butler's assumptions and findings, especially with regard to protective legislation, women worker's “passivity,” and working-class family strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women and the Trades: Pittsburgh, 1907 1908 One of the first acts of the trustees of the Russell Sage Foundation was to make an appropriation of $7,000 for the work of the Pittsburgh Survey. Other appropriations followed during the year, that made a total sum of $27,000. The plan of the survey proposed a careful and fairly comprehensive study of the conditions under which working people live and labor in a great industrial city, and a fair public statement of facts discovered. It was hoped that these facts would lead to the prompt application of some practical measures, whose value to the community would be readily recognized, and that with respect to such conditions as are firmly rooted in custom and convention, they would afford a basis for efforts to secure legislative or other remedies. It was hoped, too, that they would constitute a body of evidence, such as we had never had, bearing on our national civilization, and that they would supply a foundation for further study in a deeper and more comprehensive way of conditions whose consequences are little understood, although they affect vitally our whole community life. These anticipations have already been realized. The appointment by the Mayor of Pittsburgh of a Civic Commission composed of eminent citizens and specialists in various lines, to devise and advocate measures to promote the welfare of Pittsburgh's people, and to advance their standards materially and spiritually, may in itself prove a sufficient justification and return for the effort and expenditure put into the survey. These volumes will present a vivid picture of certain phases of life in Pittsburgh. We do not claim that it is a complete picture nor that it is entirely free from error. But we believe that it presents fairly and justly dominant elements in the lives of many individuals who form a large and important proportion of Pittsburgh's population.

Download or read book Working Class Life written by Peter R. Shergold and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the commonly held theory that American workers had a far superior standard of living than their European counterparts in the early twentieth century. Peter R. Shergold bases his study on the cities of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, England, and compares statistical data on wage rates, labor hours, family income, retail prices, diet and budgets. He also presents information from medical investigators, travelers, charity workers, business organizations, diaries, speeches and a wide variety of other sources to breathe human life into his statistical data. Shergold reveals that skilled Americans did earn higher wages than the British, yet unskilled workers did not, while Americans worked longer hours, with a greater chance of injury, and had fewer social services.
