Work for Women

"Work for Women" by George J. Manson is a late 19th-century manual designed to inform women about job options at a time when such guidance was scarce. Addressing women's work-related questions, the book examines whether various professions are suitable for women, the skills needed, problems, and possible income. It examines various career options from industrial design to nursing and telegraphy, all geared toward women looking for financial stability. Manson stresses the significance of talent and creativity especially in fields like industrial design and emphasizes the importance of independence while acknowledging the obstacles women may encounter in the workforce, such as social attitudes and competition and showcasing the potential earnings and difficulties associated with each.
