Two Pamphlets on Women's Industrial Employment in 1870s France and England

1878ref. 189841878. Watherston Edward J. The Industrial Employment of Women in France Compared with England. London: Spottiswoods and Co. 1878. French Silk Manufactures and the Industrial Employment of Women. London: Dryden Pres - J Davy and Sons 1879. Both measure 8.5" x 5.25". 16 and 23 pages respectively. The 1878 pamphlet "The Industrial Employment of Women in France." is a comparative analysis of the labor participation rate of women in France and in England. French women were much more integrated into the labor market this study finds even despite the fact that England had a disproportionate demographic surplus of women and an even more developed industrial sector. At the conclusion of the pamphlet Watherston proposes three major steps spur female employment in England based off the French example which are the: "1. Establishment of special training schools for certain trades following a preliminary general education. 2. These training schools. must be made self-supporting within a short time. All pupils must pay a moderate fee for being taught. 3. There should be union of the managers of training schools with all manufacturers wishing to employ female labour. The union must aim both to give employment to women and to advise as to the directions in which it may be sought and into which it may be extended." Watherston lays blame for the poor labor participation rate of English women at the fact that they are barred from major employment sectors such as the railways as well as a private sector which demonstrated no inclination to hire them. He concludes that English women need organization first and foremost and should establish a "Society for the Industrial Employment of Women". The second pamphlet focuses on first the history of the French silk industry and later women's employment within it noting the unique advances that the French female silk workers enjoyed. Watherston notes that "Other countries before France made use of female labour but the French were the first who employed not only as we do the hands but also the brains of women. The technical education of female workers took place simultaneously with that of the men and it is to the results of this that not a little of the excellence of the French silk manufactures of the present day is due." Watherston goes on to examine the silk manufacture at Jujurieux which took in young women from a rural underdeveloped region and lodged fed and rigorously trained them in silk production. In both of these pamphlets he highlights and endorses enterprises that transform women into workers often through a process that includes living and training amongst fellow apprentices for years at a time. There is a prevailing belief that women must be engineered into working class subjects through this total immersion but with a confidence that they are technically and intellectually skilled enough should they be properly acclimated.

Women and Labor in the American Anti Fascist Movement 1935

1935ref. 153591935. American League Against War and Fascism. Women War and Fascism 1935 links women's labor conditions in the United States to the League's broader campaign against militarism and fascism during the Depression. The pamphlet protests the employment of women as low-paid labor in factories and offices describes dangerous work performed by women in munitions plants condemns long hours and unequal wages and calls for the defeat of discriminatory legislation and equal pay for equal work. Founded in 1933 the American League Against War and Fascism brought communists socialists liberals labor activists and clergy into a national coalition opposed to war and the expanding power of fascist governments. Its appeal for supporters to "defend peace democracy and the rights of the working people" joined opposition to fascism abroad with labor and civil-liberties campaigns in the United States. American League Against War and Fascism. Women War and Fascism. New York: The American League Against War and Fascism 1935. Original paper wrappers. 18 pages. The text identifies women's low wages as both a labor issue and a feature of militarized industrial production drawing particular attention to women employed at hazardous tasks in munitions plants for long hours and inadequate pay. Its demand that "women's wages be made equal with men's for equal work" places wage discrimination alongside discriminatory laws as conditions requiring organized political opposition. Published as Hitler consolidated Nazi rule in Germany Mussolini prepared and commenced Italy's invasion of Ethiopia and Japanese military expansion continued in Asia the pamphlet shows how the League connected developments abroad with domestic labor organizing and resistance to American militarization. The pamphlet was issued during the growth of Popular Front anti-fascist organizing several years before the United States entered the Second World War and records an effort to place women workers within campaigns against both economic exploitation and militarism. Its combination of equal-pay demands criticism of dangerous industrial labor and anti-fascist politics documents an early convergence of women's labor activism and organized opposition to fascism in the United States. Light edgewear and faint toning to wrappers with a small closed tear at the spine fold; overall Very Good. Buhle 372; Seidman M182. unknown
