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.

CHAPTER VIII THE MINOR NEEDLE TRADES WHAT I shall call the minor needle trades in Pittsburgh, millinery, glove making, mattress and awning manufacture, are minor only in the sense that fewer plants and fewer people are engaged in their work. In contrast to the 868 women employed in making garments, in 1907 these four branches of the trade together employed 629. Like the garment trades, three of them, awning, mattress, and glove making, are needle trades which have further adapted and specialized the power sewing machine. Two of them, the glove and millinery industries, are again like the garment trades in that they produce articles of wear, millinery continuing largely as a hand industry, while the glove industry has involved a specialization of machine work. With the exception possibly of glove making, they all inherit some of the seasonal characteristics of the prime industry. The women employes in these minor needle trades are with few exceptions American. MILLINERY The retail millinery trade, like dressmaking, is without the province of this study. The wholesale trade, however, comes well within its boundaries in that large numbers of girls work together in a single plant under the direction of a single firm. Wholesale millinery houses have established themselves in long, narrow buildings along the business streets of the downtown section of Pittsburgh. These buildings are usually five stories high, well lighted both with shaded electric bulbs which can be turned upon the cases in the showrooms, and with high wide windows. Freshly painted walls and light board floors reflect the light and add an impression of cleanliness in dainty contrast to some of the contract sweatshops in the same district. The hat shapes are piled on tables in...
