Vocational Guidance for Girls

"Vocational Guidance for Girls" by Marguerite Dickson is a guide from the early 1900s, about the changing role of women. It explores how young girls are taking on new responsibilities in a world that’s changing fast. The book looks at the importance of getting an education, running a home, and finding work, all while society is trying to figure out what women can and should do. Dickson wants to help girls think about their futures, since women might get married or they might work. The author talks about how things like factories, cities, and wanting to learn more are changing what people think about women and what they can do in their families and at work. It encourages girls to think about what they want and how to be good at whatever they choose, at home or in a job.
