Description: This book dives into the pressing social issues surrounding women in the workforce during the early 20th century. The author explores the changing landscape of women’s roles in society, moving beyond the traditional domestic sphere and into the world of paid labor, a phenomenon spurred by the Industrial Revolution. The book meticulously examines the variety of occupations open to women, from professional roles to factory work and the often exploitative world of home-based labor. The book delves into the harsh realities of working-class life for women, particularly focusing on the deplorable housing conditions they faced, from overcrowded tenements to the cramped and unsanitary living arrangements of “living-in†shop assistants. The book explores the ethical implications of the “living-in†system, which often exposed young women to exploitative conditions and limited their personal freedom. The author's insightful analysis of the social and economic pressures facing women in the workforce provides a powerful examination of a critical period in history. This book serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for social justice and equitable treatment for women in the workplace.
