Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women's Wages It is not necessary to prove that women's wages are, as a rule, much under those of men. In the textile trades of Great Britain, which constitute the largest department of women's work, the average of women's wages is probably - in Scotland it is certainly - about ten shillings per week. This labour is not by any means unskilled, as anyone who has ever seen a spinning or weaving factory knows. Twenty shillings per week, however, is a low average for a man possessing any degree of skill whatever. In a paper read before the British Association at Cardiff, Mr. Sidney Webb gave some valuable statistics on the subject. Women workers he divides into four classes - manual labourers, routine mental workers, artistic workers, and intellectual workers. The two latter classes may be dismissed in a word. Sex has little to do in determining the wages of their work. A novelist, a poet, a writer of any sort, is under no disadvantage that she is a woman, while in many departments of artistic work women have an obvious advantage. But in the third class, that of routine mental workers, Mr. Webb finds that women's earnings are invariably less than men's.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wage-Earning Women The chapters which follow are designed to give only glimpses of these women wage-earners as they toiled in different parts of the country, during the year 1907, and mainly in the summer and autumn months before the effects of the financial stringency were observable. The investigation upon which these glimpses are based was undertaken primarily that officers and workers of the Young Women's Christian Associations might know more about the young women whom they would serve. But it was also hoped that others who had made no special study of industrial life might become acquainted with some of its varied phases, and thus develop interest in local situations, at least. The needs of the associations, however, became the dominant factor in determining the sections of country to be studied. The entire time might have been spent in following one great industry to its various centers, but such a course would not have satisfied the needs of the organization responsible for the investigation.' The desire was rather to learn a good deal about many women in various trades with a view to stimulating efforts in their behalf. The industries 2selected in each place were the half dozen or more employing the greatest number of women.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women's Votes and Wages I suppose it is a merciful dispensation of Providence which thus limits our finite minds for if for one moment the barriers which shut out from our eyes these sights of sorrow could be swept away, if we could see in one flash even all that we actually know exists, I think we should ever after be blinded by despair. But though this be so, I know that we are wrong if we draw too closely the curtains. If we are content to forget or to remain in ignorance we are guilty of criminal neglect.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women Wage-Earners: Their Past, Their Present and Their Future It is impossible for even the most dispa'ssion ate or indifferent Observer to blink these facts. Proclaim as we may that there is no antagonism between capital and labor, that their interests are one, and that conditions and opportunities for the worker are always better and better, practical thinkers and workers deny this con Clusion. Wealth has enormously increased, in a far greater ratio than population. Does the laborer receive his due proportion Of this in crease? One must unhesitatingly answer no. In a country whose life began in the search for freedom, and which professes to give equal opportunity to all, more startling inequality exists than in any other in the civilized world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisoners of Poverty: Women Wage-Workers, Their Trades and Their Lives To Mr. Theodore Stanton, the editor of The Woman Question in Europe, I hasten to acknowledge my indebted ness. After reading that interesting book it occurred to me that a volume on the work of women in America could be made equally valuable and interesting. In the spring of 1888, therefore, I began to collect the neces sary material. Naturally it was not possible, nor did it seem desirable, to follow the exact lines of Mr. Stanton's work. In his book, each chapter is devoted to a different country, and the woman question therein is treated by the author of the chapter in all of its aspects) It seemed best, on the contrary, to divide the American history as nearly as possible into as many chapters as there are phases of woman's work. The task of selecting as collaborators eighteen women, where so many brilliant women abound, was a very difficult one I need say nothing in defense or explanation of my choice, however, but am satisfied to let the work done speak for itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women Workers and Society HE labor of women outside Of the home constitutes one of the most vital problems in American life. The reason for this is two fold: first, the fact that, to an unprecedented degree, women are engaging in gainful occupa tions; and second, the effect of their labor upon marriage and upon the home. Thus it is apparent that the labor of women evokes an interest quite apart from its physical aecom plishment. It is the social effect of such labor that awakens thought, and ultimately resolves itself into action. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Equal Pay for Equal Work: The Story of the Struggle for Justice Being Made by the Women Teachers of the City of New York Salary - A periodical allowance made as compensation to a person for his official or professional services or for his regular work. - Funk and Wagnalls. Notice the words, "a person." Here is no differentiation between male persons and female persons. Yet the City of New York pays a "male" person for certain "professional services" $900, while paying a "female" person only $600 for the same "professional services." Stranger still, it pays for certain experience of a "male" person $105, while paying a "female" person only $40 for the identical experience. These are but samples of the "glaring inequalities" in the teachers' salary schedules. Why is the male in the teaching profession differentiated from the male in every other calling, when his salary is concerned? Why does the city differentiate the woman it hires to teach its children from the woman it hires to take stenographic notes, use a typewriter, follow up truants, inspect a tenement, or issue a license? Why are not the appointees from the eligible lists established by the Department of Education, entitled to the same privileges and rights as appointees from Civil Service lists from other City and State Departments? Some ask, "Shall the single woman, in teaching, be given the married woman's wage?" I do not know what they mean, but I say, "Why not the single woman in teaching just as much as the single woman in washing, in farming, in dressmaking, in nursing, in telephoning?" Again, some ask, is there such a thing as "equal work" by two people? Technically, no. No two people do exactly the same work in the same way.
