"Educated Working Women: Essays on the Economic Position of Women Workers in the Middle Classes" by Clara E. Collet is a series of writings exploring the financial lives of educated middle-class women in the early 1900s. It looks at the difficulties these women encountered in jobs, including the unfair pay and expectations they faced. Collet examines the historical limits placed on women in fields like medicine and teaching and wonders why progress in education hasn't led to equal job opportunities or pay. She underlines how important it is for women to value themselves and chase their dreams instead of just seeking marriage for money. The author sets the stage for a deep look into gender equality and economic independence.
