The economic position of women

"The Economic Position of Women" by the Academy of Political Science is an early 20th-century exploration of the financial realities faced by women in a changing America. It investigates how the industrial revolution dramatically shifted women's roles from home-based labor to factory work. The book highlights the hardships women faced from low pay and difficult working conditions, exacerbated by a lack of training. It calls attention to women's double burden of balancing work and home life. It prepares to examine specific challenges across different jobs, as well as possible changes to improve women's financial security and working environment through education, unions, and new laws.
