Florence Kelley (1859 1932) was a committed socialist and political
reformer who campaigned against child labour in the United States.
In 1899 she became the leader of the National Consumers' League, an
anti-sweatshop and pro-minimum wage pressure group which she
supported until her death. This volume, first published in 1914,
describes her views on the problems facing American society due to
the expansion of industry. Kelley discusses the negative effects of
rapid industrialisation on the American urban working class, in
terms of the effects on the family, on the health of workers, on
the education of the working class; and discusses the economic
'morality' of controlling the means of production. She also
suggests possible legislation to mitigate these problems, some of
which later passed into federal law. This volume provides a vivid
description of the lives of America's urban working class and
illustrates the extent of contemporary industrialisation in
America.
