Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vocations for Business and Professional Women Marked changes and rapid developments occurred in certain types of work for women while this country was engaged in the war. No one is able to estimate the extent to which these developments might have progressed if the war had continued, or the extent to which they would prove permanent. It is an established fact, however, that women were successful in most of the types of work into which they were called by the exigencies of the war. No mention is made in this pamphlet of the types of positions held by women during the war in which the need for them or the opportunities for them were of a purely temporary nature. The attempt is made to discuss those occupa tions in which women have made a definite and permanent place for them selves and in which younger women, the workers of the future, may expect to find fields for service. The teaching profession has been omitted for the reason that most requests for vocational information are directed toward the non-academic vocations and neither the Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupations nor so far the Bureau of Vocational Information has conducted investigations into the opportunities in 'the many subdivisions of the teaching profession. The several sections dealing with opportunities, requirements, salaries, etc., in the various voca tions listed in this bulletin have in most instances been submitted for com ments and suggestions to experts in their respective fields and the complete bulletin carries their endorsement. It is hoped that, the pamphlet will prove especially helpful to young women in the colleges who are looking for help and guidance in formulating plans for their future work. The only guarantee of the advancement of women beyond routine tasks and subordinate positions is the long plan including as its most important elements a thorough preparation for the work and a professional attitude toward it. Inadequate training and a medal attitude toward it on the part of many women workers account for most of the 10mg lamented closed doors. If the work is suitable for women in general and for the individual woman in particular, if her training is thorough and her interests genuine. The real bars to her success have been removed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vocations for Girls The object of this book is to give to young girls, and those responsible for the guidance of girls, some definite information as to conditions of work in the more common vocations. The facts were secured, with the cooperation of the Vocation Bureau of Boston, from many sources: the superintendents of large department stores, the director of a school of salesmanship, the managers of several manufacturing establishments, the head nurses of city hospitals, the principals of technical, trade, textile, and commercial schools, the manager of a telephone school, the head of a department of household economics, several librarians, state, city, and town school superintendents, have all furnished information in regard to work in the several vocations; teachers, nurses, cooks, milliners, dressmakers, and employees in stores, factories, and telephone exchanges have also given many facts as to conditions of work. The book has been written by two teachers who have worked with many young people, and their hope is that it may help girls, who must make their way in the world, to find the work for which they are best fitted by natural ability and by training.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vocations for the Trained Woman, Vol. 1: Opportunities Other Than Teaching The articles in this book, written largely by men and women at work in Boston and New York, or the two States, Massachusetts and New York, represent the situation in these two sections. It is Obvious, then, that local conditions must be taken into account in reading them. The personal point of view must also be reck oned with. Articles giving individual views of given fields for which statistics cannot be got without elaborate investigation are, in their very nature, personal and in danger of being prejudiced. The different sections cannot, then, definitely figure the facts. They do, however, suggest clearly enough the present possibilities for women in various Occupations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vocation of Woman This, however, is not an entirely new condition. Women in the middle ages had more education than men. With the aims and aspirations of the pioneers of female education no thoughtful woman will find fault. It was to their credit that they realised the quagmire of uselessness into which, under modern conditions, the middle class portion of their sex was beginning to sink. But it is much to be regretted that they adopted the theory of the equality of man and woman as something to be reached only through the closer intellectual approximation of the sexes, instead of by attempt ing to attain a greater perfection of womanhood.

Download or read book Making Motherhood Work written by Caitlyn Collins and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work-family conflict that mothers experience today is a national crisis. Women struggle to balance breadwinning with the bulk of parenting, and social policies aren't helping. Of all Western industrialized countries, the United States ranks dead last for supportive work-family policies. Can American women look to Europe for solutions? Making Motherhood Work draws on interviews that Caitlyn Collins conducted over five years with 135 middle-class working mothers in Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the United States. She explores how women navigate work and family given the different policy supports available in each country. Taking readers into women's homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces, Collins shows that mothers' expectations depend on context and that policies alone cannot solve women's struggles. With women held to unrealistic standards, the best solutions demand that we redefine motherhood, work, and family.
Download or read book Necessary Dreams written by Anna Fels and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book about how women perceive, are prepared for, and cope with ambition and achievement, psychiatrist Anna Fels examines ambition at the deepest psychological level. Cutting to the core of what ambition can provide—the essential elements of a fulfilling life—Fels describes why, for women but not for men, ambition still remains fraught with often painful conflict. Fels draws on case studies, research, interviews, and autobiographies of accomplished and celebrated women past and present—writers, artists, architects, politicians, actors—to explore the ways in which women are brought up to avoid recognition and visibility in favor of traditional feminine values and why they often choose to nurture and defer to rather than compete with men. She poses invaluable questions: What is the nature of ambition and how important is it in a woman’s life? What are the forces that promote or impede its development? To what extent does ambition go against a woman’s very nature? And she challenges currently held theories about the state of mind and the needs of men. Incisive and highly readable, Necessary Dreams is a unique exploration of the options and obstacles women face in the pursuit of their goals. It is a book that every woman will want—and need—to read.
Download or read book Opting Back In written by Pamela Stone and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a career break is a conflicted and risky decision for high-achieving professional women. Yet many do so, usually planning, even as they quit, to return to work eventually. But can they? And if so, how? In Opting Back In, Pamela Stone and Meg Lovejoy revisit women first interviewed a decade earlier in Stone’s book Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home to answer these questions. In frank and intimate accounts, women lay bare the dilemmas they face upon reentry. Most succeed but not by returning to their former high-paying, still family-inhospitable jobs. Instead, women strike out in new directions, finding personally gratifying but lower-paid jobs in the gig economy or predominantly female nonprofit sector. Opting Back In uncovers a paradox of privilege by which the very women best positioned to achieve leadership and close gender gaps use strategies to resume their careers that inadvertently reinforce gender inequality. The authors advocate gender equitable policies that will allow women—and all parents—to combine the intense demands of work and family life in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Opting Out written by Pamela Stone and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noting a phenomenon that might seem to recall a previous era, The New York Times Magazine recently portrayed women who leave their careers in order to become full-time mothers as "opting out." But, are high-achieving professional women really choosing to abandon their careers in order to return home? This provocative study is the first to tackle this issue from the perspective of the women themselves. Based on a series of candid, in-depth interviews with women who returned home after working as doctors, lawyers, bankers, scientists, and other professions, Pamela Stone explores the role that their husbands, children, and coworkers play in their decision; how women’s efforts to construct new lives and new identities unfold once they are home; and where their aspirations and plans for the future lie. What we learn—contrary to many media perceptions—is that these high-flying women are not opting out but are instead being pushed out of the workplace. Drawing on their experiences, Stone outlines concrete ideas for redesigning workplaces to make it easier for women—and men—to attain their goal of living rewarding lives that combine both families and careers.
Download or read book What Works for Women at Work written by Joan C. Williams and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mother-daughter legal scholar team “offers unabashedly straightforward advice in a how-to primer for ambitious women . . . [A]ttention-grabbing revelations” (Debora L. Spar, The New York Times Book Review) What Works for Women at Work is a comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation’s most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today’s workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead. What Works for Women at Work tells women it’s not their fault. Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today’s workplace. Distilling over thirty-five years of research, Williams and Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies—which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers. Williams and Dempsey’s analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going beyond the traditional one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with advice on dealing with difficult situations such as sexual harassment. An essential resource for any working woman. “Many steps beyond Lean In (2013), Sheryl Sandberg’s prescription for getting ahead . . . .[F]illed with street-smart advice and plain old savvy about the way life works in corporate America.” —Booklist, starred review) “A playbook on how to transcend and triumph.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
