1900178581900. Women at Work Albumen photo of women at work in a small factory. Photograph measures 7.75" x 5.5" inches and is on gray photographer's board measuring 8.5" x 6.5" inches. Circa 1900s. Albumen print. Women sitting at long wooden tables in small manufacturing shop. Palm-sized rings hang in loops from the ceiling and can be seen scattered throughout the photo. One woman in a long white dress holds length of material looking it over while another sitting behind her and across and wooden aisle looks away from the camera toward her desktop. Two other women can be seen seated behind her further back into the shop. A man in shirt and vest appears to be observing the women at work while another man at the back of the shop appears to be using some sort of pressing device. It's unclear what's being manufactured but the details of materials and workplace layout give rich details to take in. The women would have been part of a growing female workforce utilized to support production in the midst of industrialization. Overall very good condition. unknown
1871165651871. Women Employment Labor To the Right Honorable Richard Assheton Cross M.P. Secretary of Sate for the Home Department. 1871. 4 pages. 8 x 5 in. In this document women workers express fears regarding proposed labor regulations that would limit their ability to earn and would "restrict the paid labour of all women.or even make all married women half-timers." They claim it is unjust treatment that would harm women workers and pit their marriages at odds with their ability to work: "Your Memorialists assert that it is unjust to place restriction son the labour of unmarried women for the presumed protection of married women or mothers and further that any special restrictions upon the labour of married women is practically a penalty imposed on marriage as regards to the woman." Document that reveals the competing priorities for women factory workers between workplace safety and their earning power. Chipping with small losses along top and right edge. Repairs to two tears on page 2. Top left corner missing. Good only. unknown
