As industrialization transformed American life in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth century, increasing numbers of women
sought employment outside the home and many were drawn into the
labor movement. This collection of twenty-five stories published in
union journals offers a portrait both of women's experiences as
wage-earners and of the conflicts, values, and aspirations that
touched their lives in this period of massive social upheaval.
Written by reformers, union officials, and popular fiction writers,
the stories present an uneasy synthesis of labor movement virtues
with domestic ideals of femininity, females assertiveness with
female subordination, and moralizing with romantic fantasy.
