16188Original vintage photograph of a large group of women seamstresses and tailors at their sewing machines in a factory setting. Sepia. Approximately 5" x 8" with back matting. Rows and rows of women sitting in front of sewing machines gaze into the camera. While single women faced barriers to employment wives and mothers confronted prejudice that put their jobs at risk after marriage and childbirth. As women took advantage of expanded access to jobs with the advent of factory lines a new push was made for job security and upward mobility. The women's employment movement first picked up traction in the industrial revolution as women fought to secure fair hours and wages for female factory workers; In the late 1870s and 80s women's organizations lobbied for safe conditions and job protection for married women and mothers; and through the 20th century expansion of skilled female labor including civil service publishing and medicine. Some of the most radical labor organizing in the West happened thanks to women in the textiles industry as women fought to secure prosperity and safety under new work conditions. A beautiful photograph of the spirited women young and old at the front lines of the changing workplace. Baxandall "America's Working Women" p. 94-96 158.

16265Woman's Work For Woman A Union Illustrated Magazine Published Monthly by the Women's Foreign Missionary Societies of the Presbyterian Church. Vol. XI No. 1. January 1896. New York. 28 pages. Vertical fold down the center of the booklet with soiling on the front and back cover water damage on the top and right edge of the front cover and small losses on the bottom edge of the back cover. Very rare; OCLC locates no other known copies.<br/><br/>Woman's Work for Woman was published from 1890-1904. The magazine contains articles and updates about life in different missionary locations in Asia South America and the Middle East. With most of the submissions by women and with an all women Editorial Committee this magazine is indicative of some of the most acceptable ways for women to participate in public life in the late 19th century. Women were not allowed to participate in Presbyterian church councils or leadership until the mid-twentieth century but working with the Women's Missionary Societies gave new opportunities for writing organizing and leadership positions. In the late 19th century women who sought work outside the home were often criticized for abandoning family and domestic responsibilities but women who pursued religious work did not face this same criticism since they had an altruistic motive. Working on religious causes allowed women agency and independence that they would not be able to access in other occupations.

1878189841878. Watherston Edward J. The Industrial Employment of Women in France Compared with England. London: Spottiswoods and Co. 1878. French Silk Manufactures and the Industrial Employment of Women. London: Dryden Pres - J Davy and Sons 1879. Both measure 8.5" x 5.25". 16 and 23 pages respectively. The 1878 pamphlet "The Industrial Employment of Women in France." is a comparative analysis of the labor participation rate of women in France and in England. French women were much more integrated into the labor market this study finds even despite the fact that England had a disproportionate demographic surplus of women and an even more developed industrial sector. At the conclusion of the pamphlet Watherston proposes three major steps spur female employment in England based off the French example which are the: "1. Establishment of special training schools for certain trades following a preliminary general education. 2. These training schools. must be made self-supporting within a short time. All pupils must pay a moderate fee for being taught. 3. There should be union of the managers of training schools with all manufacturers wishing to employ female labour. The union must aim both to give employment to women and to advise as to the directions in which it may be sought and into which it may be extended." Watherston lays blame for the poor labor participation rate of English women at the fact that they are barred from major employment sectors such as the railways as well as a private sector which demonstrated no inclination to hire them. He concludes that English women need organization first and foremost and should establish a "Society for the Industrial Employment of Women". <br /> <br /> The second pamphlet focuses on first the history of the French silk industry and later women's employment within it noting the unique advances that the French female silk workers enjoyed. Watherston notes that "Other countries before France made use of female labour but the French were the first who employed not only as we do the hands but also the brains of women. The technical education of female workers took place simultaneously with that of the men and it is to the results of this that not a little of the excellence of the French silk manufactures of the present day is due." Watherston goes on to examine the silk manufacture at Jujurieux which took in young women from a rural underdeveloped region and lodged fed and rigorously trained them in silk production. In both of these pamphlets he highlights and endorses enterprises that transform women into workers often through a process that includes living and training amongst fellow apprentices for years at a time. There is a prevailing belief that women must be engineered into working class subjects through this total immersion but with a confidence that they are technically and intellectually skilled enough should they be properly acclimated.
