Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman, and Her Place in a Free Society She, more and more, accepting as inevitable the situation; moving, sad-eyed, to her patient and uncom plaining work; to the narrow sphere and petty details of household labor and life, and to the obscurity of unrecognised cares and interests; filling the world with her myriad nameless unrecorded acts of tenderness and love, of drudgery and daily tendance, of patience and self-effacement, little noticed and less understood; yet all the while with her own impulses and character, her own talents and genius, smothered away and blighted by confinement and neglect; her brain dwarfed; and her outlook on the world marred by all falsity and ignorance. Guchhasbeenatheufateigf., w.qman through the centuries. Till at last, becoming indeed only too firmed to the external conditions of her life, she has often even mentally lapsed into the chattel and property of the male, and (like the wage-earner) been able only to see her good in clinging for support to the very person who used her for his profit and his pleasure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woman Worker and the Trade Unions There is only a very small proportion Of working women in the trade unions of the United States. Of some eight and a half million women in industry, a very small percentage either use the union as their economic weapon or are benefited by it. Why is it that women workers who have been in industry fully as long a time as their brothers, though not in as great numbers, are not organised economically? Are they incapable Of being organised? Have women inherent characteristics which make them unamenable to the discipline Of the organised group? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 1995-09-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating history of…[a craft] that preceded and made possible civilization itself." —New York Times Book Review New discoveries about the textile arts reveal women's unexpectedly influential role in ancient societies. Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing the first clothing created from spun fibers. In fact, right up to the Industrial Revolution the fiber arts were an enormous economic force, belonging primarily to women. Despite the great toil required in making cloth and clothing, most books on ancient history and economics have no information on them. Much of this gap results from the extreme perishability of what women produced, but it seems clear that until now descriptions of prehistoric and early historic cultures have omitted virtually half the picture. Elizabeth Wayland Barber has drawn from data gathered by the most sophisticated new archaeological methods—methods she herself helped to fashion. In a "brilliantly original book" (Katha Pollitt, Washington Post Book World), she argues that women were a powerful economic force in the ancient world, with their own industry: fabric.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women's Work The writers of the present volume have a purely practical object in view. They have no desire to discuss, theoretically, the duties, rights, and responsibilities of women. They consider that it would be unwise to give prominence to considerations affecting the political or social position of women, in a work dealing specially with their industrial situation. On the other hand, they are fully aware that there is a necessary connection between the views which appear to be in course of formation as to the proper position of women in the labour market, and the change which has taken place in the standpoint from which all questions - even the most abstract - regarding the condition of women are now discussed. Various reforms have been forced on us within the last thirty years through the necessity of recognising, legally and socially, that development in the relations of women to the state and to society which has been brought about by the pressure of the altered circumstances of modern life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women in the Printing Trades: A Sociological Study MY only qualification for writing this preface is the circumstance that, as a representative of the Royal Economic Society, I attended the meetings of the Committee appointed to direct and conduct the investigations of which the results are summarised in the following pages. From what I saw and heard at those meetings I received the impression that the evidence here recorded was collected with great diligence and sifted with great care. It seems to constitute a solid contribution to a department of political economy which has perhaps not received as much attention as it deserves. Among the aspects of women's work on which some new light has been thrown, is the question why women in return for the same or a not very different amount of work should often receive very much less wages. It is a question which not only in its bearing on social life is of the highest practical import ance, but also from a more abstract point of view is of considerable theoretical interest, so far as it seems to present the paradox of entrepreneurs paying at very different rates for factors of production which are not so different in efficiency. The question as stated has some resemblance to the well known demand for an explanation which Charles II. Preferred to the Royal Society: there occurs the preliminary question whether the circumstance to be explained exists. The alleged disproportion between the remuneration of men and women is indeed sometimes only apparent, or at least appears to be greater than it is really. Often, however, it is real and great where it is not apparent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There it is said that Jair had a father of the tribe of Juda, but his mother came from the tribe of Manasseh, and Jair is explicitly called the son of Manasseh and became heir to that tribe. In Nehemiah, 7, 63, we find still another example of maternal law among the ancient Jews. There the children of a priest who married one of the daughters of Barzillai, a Jewish clan, are called the children of Barzillai. They are, accordingly, not called by their father's but by their mother's name. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisoners of Poverty: Women Wage-Workers, Their Trades and Their Lives A comprehensive view of the attainments made by American women in this century, and especially during the last fifteen years, cannot but be of great importance and value. The cruel kindness of the old doctrine that women should be worked for, and should not work, that their influence should be felt, but not recognized, that they should hear and see, but neither appear nor speak, - all this belongs now to the record of things which, once measurably true, have become fabulous. The theory that women should not be workers is a corruption of the old aristocratic system. Slaves and servants, whether male or female, always worked. Women of rank in the old world were not necessarily idle. The eastern monarch who refused an army to a queen, sent her a golden distaff. The extremes of despotism and of luxury, undermining society and state, can alone have introduced the theory that it becomes the highly born and bred to be idle. With this unnatural paralysis of woman's active nature came ennui, the bane of the so-called privileged classes. From ennui spring morbid passions, fostered by fantastic imaginations. A respect for labor lies at the very foundation of a true democracy. The changes which our country has seen in this respect, and the great uprising of industries among woman, are then not important to women alone, but of momentous import to society at large. The new activities sap the foundation of vicious and degraded life. From the factory to the palace the quickening impulse is felt, and the social level rises. To the larger intellectual outlook is added the growing sympathy of women with each other, which does more than anything else to make united action possible among them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insulated from the dust, noise, and crowds churning outside, China's luxury hotels are staging areas for the new economic and political landscape of the country. These hotels, along with other emerging service businesses, offer an important, new source of employment for millions of workers, but also bring to light levels of inequality that surpass most developed nations. Examining how gender enables the globalization of markets and how emerging forms of service labor are changing women's social status in China, Markets and Bodies reveals the forms of social inequality produced by shifts in the economy. No longer working for the common good as defined by the socialist state, service workers are catering to the individual desires of consumers. This economic transition ultimately affords a unique opportunity to investigate the possibilities and current limits for better working conditions for the young women who are enabling the development of capitalism in China.

Download or read book The Economic Position of Women (Classic Reprint) written by Academy Of Political Science and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economic Position of Women Working women are not only untrained and inefficient, but industrially ignorant and lacking in standards. Hence they put up with whatever conditions the employer imposes. They do not make a fuss, and therefore they get treatment to which no man would submit. Moreover such a large proportion of them are mere pin - money girls that there is no minimum standard of wages, such as is furnished for men by the necessary cost of maintaining a family. Women's wages are perhaps in a majority of cases simply supplementary earnings, and the wages of all women, self-dependent or not, tend to be fixed on the assumption that they will live parasitically on their relatives. As a result of this lack Of standards, the whole subject Of the pay and conditions of women's work is a veritable Chaos. Standardization has been well worked out in many men's trades, and technical progress has followed. In women's occupations it is often easier for an unprogressive employer to throw the burden of his backwardness on docile women employes by paying low wages than it is to keep up With the march of im provement in machinery and methods. SO much for the human element in this problem. On the industrial side we find, as is more than once pointed out in these papers, that industry as now organized takes no cognizance of the special needs Of the worker. Competitive cheapness must be Obtained at all costs. If the worker does not insist on his rights, he gets small part Of the benefits of progress. Hence changes in machinery and organization bring little advantage to women workers; such changes, in fact, are frequently carried through with distinct loss to them, however great the gain to society in general. But more than this, our present industry is made for men, and it wants only standard workers, working standard hours at standard speed. The work ers must conform to this inelastic system or go without a job. Most women are physically incapable, without permanent injury to themselves and the race, of enduring for ten hours a day the strain to which modern industry subjects them; yet they are trying to conform to its mechanical routine instead Of insisting that it be changed to meet their needs. SO long as this change is not made, so long will women's industrial work continue a social menace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
