réf. 16739Women's Fight for Employment Equality. "Lowell Offering. Written Edited and Published by Female Operatives Employed in the Mills." 1844. Pamphlet. The Lowell Offering was a monthly publication run by women working in the Lowell Textile Mill from 1840-1845. Featuring the women's poetry essays and other literary efforts the magazine gave female factory workers the opportunity to share their creative endeavors; for the women who edited and published the periodical the Lowell Offering also provided demonstrable and employable skills in publishing and journalism. This 1844 edition comes from the penultimate year of the publication. It is the earliest piece in the collection. Lowell solved the problem of labor at his mills by employing young women between the ages of 15 and 35 who became known as "mill girls". Unlike European industries which had access to "large landless urban populations whose reliance on the wage system gave them few economic choices" American companies had to grapple with a small labor supply because the population was small and most preferred farming their own land and the economic independence that came with it. In order to persuade these young women to work at a mill they were paid in cash once "every week or two weeks". In line with the Boston Associates' worldview the mill girls were encouraged to educate themselves and pursue intellectual activities. They attended free lectures by Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Quincy Adams and read books they borrowed from circulating libraries. They were also encouraged to join "improvement circles" that promoted creative writing and public discussion. unknown books
réf. 16266Working Girls' Society. Circular of the Working Girls' Society late nineteenth century sets out the rules and benefits of a New York organization created for wage-earning women. The Society provided working women with rooms for social meetings classes reading and recreation after working hours while its bylaws governed membership and access to the organization's facilities. Contemporary accounts of New York working girls' clubs describe them as cooperative organizations in which members pursued self-education social activity and practical assistance rather than simply receiving charity. Circular of the Working Girls' Society. New York: Working Girls' Society n.d. Bylaws governing membership and use of the Society's library and rooms at 222 West 38th Street. The circular describes benefits available to members including special vacation privileges and discounted railway tickets combining educational and social provisions with practical assistance for women earning wages in the city. The regulations document the daily administration of a women's club formed around the needs of an expanding urban female workforce and show how membership could provide access to books meeting rooms instruction recreation and reduced-cost travel. The circular survives from the period in which working women's clubs expanded in New York; by the early twentieth century contemporary descriptions traced the movement to clubs organized during the 1880s and emphasized their classes member government and opportunities for social intercourse and self-improvement.

1916réf. 183494London: Chiswick Press 1916. First edition of this illustrated government publication promoting women's wartime employment. Women's War Work contains a detailed list of several hundred roles left vacant by men that women successfully fulfilled. Several of these are demonstrated by characterful photographs which show women employed in a range of professions including the postal service factories breweries and shops. The War Office recruited women into the workplace to maintain productivity produce munitions and ensure that as many men as possible were available for the Armed Forces. By July 1916 it was estimated that 750000 women across Britain had taken up such work and the War Office produced Women's War Work in September to further increase their numbers. The preface asserts that employers who had women in their workface would "readily admit that the results achieved by the temporary employment of women far exceed their original estimates and even so are capable of much further extension" p. 5. Women's contributions to the war effort drastically changed public perception of their capabilities and helped women over 30 to achieve enfranchisement in 1918.

1936réf. 160251936. National Woman's Party. Equal Rights March 15 1936 documents the organization's campaign for legal equality at a time when women's workplace legislation divided American feminists over whether sex-specific protections advanced or restricted women workers. Founded in 1916 by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns during the suffrage campaign the National Woman's Party continued after ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment by advocating the Equal Rights Amendment then commonly associated with the Lucretia Mott Amendment and by opposing laws that imposed legal distinctions based solely on sex. This issue addresses the New York minimum wage controversy international equal-rights efforts and proposed workplace protections for women and children. National Woman's Party. Equal Rights. Vol. 22 No. 6. March 15 1936. 4 pages. 8 1/2 x 11 inches. Official organ of the National Woman's Party. The issue reports on the New York minimum wage case after the New York Court of Appeals struck down the state law regulating minimum wages for women; the United States Supreme Court subsequently affirmed that judgment in Morehead v. New York ex rel. Tipaldo on June 1 1936. It also discusses the Equal Rights Treaty signed at Montevideo by Cuba Ecuador Paraguay and Uruguay part of the National Woman's Party's effort to establish sex equality in international law. Another article addresses workplace hygiene and a resolution requiring employers to provide women with separate quarters for washing changing clothes and general use as well as seats for women and children when the work did not require them to remain standing. Published two years before enactment of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 the issue records a central dispute in interwar women's rights politics: whether legislation written specifically for women offered necessary labor protection or created legal distinctions that could restrict women's employment and undermine demands for equal rights. The National Woman's Party pursued the latter argument while simultaneously campaigning internationally for legal equality between the sexes. The March 1936 issue therefore preserves contemporary evidence of the relationship among the Equal Rights Amendment campaign minimum wage litigation international treaty advocacy and debates over sex-specific workplace regulation.

1919réf. 149951919. National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs plaque 1919 commemorates the founding year of a national organization created to coordinate and advance the interests of business and professional women. Established on July 16 1919 after wartime efforts to identify women's professional skills and experience the Federation developed from organizing associated with the Women's War Council and the mobilization of women workers during World War I. Its formation preceded ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 and placed questions of women's employment professional advancement and political participation within a national organizational structure. Large bronze embossed seal of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs mounted on wood and dated 1919. The Federation was organized at its first national convention in St. Louis in July 1919 under the leadership of Lena Madesin Phillips with Gail Laughlin elected its first national president. Early Federation work included a national survey of business and professional women addressing their status qualifications opportunities and working conditions providing an organized basis for advocacy concerning women's economic and professional life. The plaque dates from the Federation's founding year when women were entering professional occupations in greater numbers while still lacking federally protected voting rights nationwide. The organization continued to advocate on issues affecting working women and to promote professional development leadership and economic opportunity. The bronze seal mounted on wood survives as an organizational artifact from the Federation's establishment in 1919 one year before ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment extended constitutional protection for women's suffrage nationwide. unknown
réf. 18979Women's Employment Workingmen Want this Bill! An Act To Amend the Labor Law Relative to Hours of Labor. Utica: Utica Trades Assembly n.d. Measuring 9.5" x 6" on tan paper. A women's labor broadside calling attention to the modification of "labor laws relative to the hours of labor" for women and minors in New York. Decorated in bold black lettering the slogan reads "Workingmen Want this Bill!" followed by the contention that the bill "provides for a half holiday on Saturday for women and minors employed on factories without the necessity of working overtime on other days of the week". This is succeeded by the presentation of the act by "The People of the State of New York represented in Senate and Assembly with excerpts from Sections 1 2 3 and 77. Section 77 states that "Hours of labor of minors and women--No minor under the age of eighteen years and no female shall be employed at labor in any factory in this State before six o'clock in the morning or after nine o'clock in the evening of any day or for more than ten hours in any one day of sixty fifty six hours in any one week nor more than six hours on the last day of the week.". As of this writing OCLC reports fewer than three copies in the United States. This document seems to follow some text from the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act 1916. In very good condition. unknown
1873réf. 165641873. Association of Factory Occupiers in the Four Counties of Lancaster York Chester and Derby. Mr. Mundella's Bill for Limiting the Hours of Labour in Factories 1873. First edition of a response by northern English factory owners to Liberal Member of Parliament Anthony John Mundella's campaign to reduce working hours for women and children in British textile mills. Following Mundella's speech before the House of Commons on June 11 1873 the employers challenged his allegations of dangerous working conditions excessive hours and elevated mortality among female and child workers. Mundella condemned the "shameful treatment" of factory laborers and drew particular attention to infant deaths associated with mothers returning to industrial employment shortly after childbirth declaring that "the return of the mother to the mill was a sentence of death on the child." The employers countered his arguments with statistics intended to demonstrate improvements in workers' health and living conditions documenting organized industrial opposition to legislation intended to protect women and children. Association of Factory Occupiers in the Four Counties of Lancaster York Chester and Derby. Mr. Mundella's Bill for Limiting the Hours of Labour in Factories. Observations of the Employers upon the Speech of Mr. Mundella M.P. Made in the House of Commons on Wednesday the 11th of June 1873. Manchester: John Heywood Excelsior Printing Works 1873. First edition. 32 pages. Original paper wrappers measuring 8¼ x 5 inches. The pamphlet reproduces passages from Mundella's parliamentary speech alongside the employers' corresponding rebuttals allowing direct comparison of the competing arguments. Three statistical tables in the appendix present mortality data employed in the controversy. Issued on behalf of the regional factory owners' association the response is dated July 24 1873 and identifies Richard Haworth as chairman Joseph Simpson as treasurer and Henry Whitworth as secretary. The dispute preceded the Factory Act of 1874 which restricted the working hours of women and young persons in textile factories and established a ten-hour working day. Mundella's campaign connected industrial working conditions with public health childhood education and infant mortality while manufacturers resisted further statutory limits by disputing the medical and statistical evidence supporting reform. The pamphlet preserves the employers' organized response to proposed labor protections including their use of mortality statistics to challenge parliamentary testimony about the consequences of factory employment.

1873réf. 165661873. Taylor Whately Cooke. The Employment of Married Women in Manufacture 1874. First edition of a paper delivered at the Social Science Congress in Norwich in October 1873 opposing proposed legislation that would restrict or prohibit married women's employment in British manufacturing. Taylor challenges the argument that married women should be excluded from factory labor because of their maternal and domestic responsibilities emphasizing the financial consequences for working-class families dependent upon women's earnings. He condemns the inconsistency of restricting married women's industrial employment while permitting women in agriculture and domestic service to continue working without comparable legal limitations. His argument addresses a central dispute in Victorian labor reform: whether legislation intended to protect women from industrial exploitation could instead deprive them of economic independence and impose unequal restrictions upon their employment. Taylor Whately Cooke. The Employment of Married Women in Manufacture. A Paper Read at the Social Science Congress Held at Norwich October 1873. London: Frederick Bell & Co. Steam Printers King's Rd. Chelsea 1874. First edition. 12 pages. Original paper wrappers measuring 8 x 5¼ inches. Reprinted for the Vigilance Association for the Defence of Personal Rights the pamphlet develops an economic and legal argument against restricting married women's factory employment. Taylor writes: "It is at first sign a very humane sentiment no doubt to assert that married women should be relieved from all hard work because of the duties which maternity casts upon them; but when as that the same time you relieve them of some fifteen shillings a-week without providing any substitute you must not be surprised if they themselves do not view your condescension in the same light." His reference to fifteen shillings a week places the loss of wages rather than the stated benevolence of protective legislation at the center of his objection. The pamphlet appeared during parliamentary debates preceding the Factory Act of 1874 which further regulated the working hours of women and young persons in textile factories. The Vigilance Association for the Defence of Personal Rights opposed legislation that restricted adult women's freedom to contract for employment particularly when comparable restrictions did not apply to men. Taylor's comparison of factory workers with women employed in agriculture and domestic service exposes the unequal treatment of female occupations under proposed labor regulations. His paper documents opposition to sex-specific industrial legislation within the nineteenth-century movement for women's legal and economic rights. Very good condition. unknown
1900réf. 200911900. Telephone operator photo archive circa 1900 to 1958 documents women's labor within telephone exchange systems showing how urban communications depended on trained female operators seated at switchboards connecting calls handling information and maintaining the human infrastructure behind early and mid twentieth century telephone service. The material documents telephone communication labor through photographs of switchboard rooms operators wearing headsets plug boards supervisory presence and grouped clerical activity revealing how connection work operated in practice before automated dialing fully displaced manual exchange work. The archive supports research into women's wage labor communications history gendered office work New York telephone service and the disciplined workplace culture that positioned young women as the public voice and operational center of the telephone network. The archive consists of six black-and-white photographs including five silver gelatin photographs and one early albumen photograph with images measuring from approximately 3.5 x 4.25 inches to 7 x 9 inches. The date range appears to extend from the early twentieth century to 1958 based on the later dated images. Several photographs show women seated in tight rows facing large switchboards wearing heavy headsets with horn mouthpieces and working among dense arrangements of cords and plugs. The early albumen photograph shows a row of women facing the switchboards while a female supervisor watches over the room indicating both the gendered hierarchy and procedural discipline of the exchange floor. One image shows an operator turning toward the camera with a plug in hand smiling while gesturing toward the board. Four smaller photographs dated 1958 show teams of women moving between boards and a small group with paperwork behind the operating area; pencil inscriptions on the versos identify the location as New York. The photographs are valuable because they make visible the labor system behind telephone service: rows of operators standardized equipment supervisors paperwork and the coordinated manual routing of calls. They also record the gendered character of communications work in which women's voices posture speed and manner were made part of the service itself. Light handling wear minor edge wear and expected age toning; images remain crisp with equipment and personnel details clearly visible; overall very good.

1871réf. 165651871. To the Right Honorable Richard Assheton Cross M.P. Secretary of State for the Home Department dated 1871 in the supplied description. Petition by British women workers opposing proposed factory legislation that threatened to restrict women's paid employment particularly that of married women and mothers. The petitioners object to proposals that would "restrict the paid labour of all women.or even make all married women half-timers" arguing that legislation presented as protecting female workers could instead deprive them of wages and economic independence. Their objections distinguish between protections against dangerous industrial conditions and restrictions imposed specifically because of sex or marital status. The petition documents women's direct intervention in nineteenth-century labor legislation challenging the assumption that Parliament could protect married women by limiting their right to earn wages. To the Right Honorable Richard Assheton Cross M.P. Secretary of State for the Home Department. 1871 date requires verification. 4 pages. Measuring 8 x 5 inches. The memorialists argue that regulations imposed upon married women would discriminate against unmarried women as well establishing different legal rights to employment according to marital status. They declare "Your Memorialists assert that it is unjust to place restriction son the labour of unmarried women for the presumed protection of married women or mothers" and further maintain that "any special restrictions upon the labour of married women is practically a penalty imposed on marriage as regards to the woman." These statements identify the economic consequences of proposed restrictions and insist that marriage and motherhood should not diminish a woman's right to paid employment. The petition belongs to Victorian debates over factory regulation women's industrial employment and the distinction between protective legislation and unequal treatment under labor law. While reformers sought shorter hours and safer working conditions for women and children opponents of sex-specific restrictions argued that compulsory limits could reduce women's earnings exclude them from certain occupations and reinforce their financial dependence upon men. The memorialists articulate this objection in their own words documenting women's resistance to legislation that treated marital status as grounds for restricting employment. Chipping with small losses along the upper and right edges repairs to two tears on page 2 and loss to the upper left corner. Good condition. unknown

Appearing before the First World War substantially altered women's employment in Britain the study provides a statistical record of the labor market immediately preceding wartime expansion into occupations from which women had previously been excluded or employed only in limited numbers. Papworth L. Wyatt and Dorothy M. Zimmern comps. The Occupations of Women According to the Census of England and Wales 1911. London: Women's Industrial Council 1914. Paper wrappers. The compilers arrange census figures into tables analyzing the occupations of men and women the marital status of women workers and the number of retired women workers among other categories. The statistics were assembled not simply to enumerate existing employment but to determine which industries were open to women and where further employment opportunities might be developed. By separating workers according to sex and marital status the pamphlet supplies contemporary evidence of how women's paid labor was measured and classified immediately before the economic disruptions of the First World War. This copy bears provenance from the Women's Service Library at Millicent Fawcett House connecting it to an institution devoted to collecting documentation on women's political social and economic history. The library developed from the collections of the London Society for Women's Service and was named for suffrage leader Millicent Garrett Fawcett whose work also encompassed women's educational and employment opportunities. The association is particularly pertinent to a Women's Industrial Council publication concerned with expanding women's economic participation.

1919réf. 163201919. Ministry of Reconstruction Women's Advisory Committee. Report of the Sub-Committee Appointed to Consider the Position after the War of Women Holding Temporary Appointments in Government Departments 1919 addresses the status of women recruited into temporary government service during World War I and the terms under which they might remain in public employment after demobilization. The report concerns the transition from wartime labor to the permanent Civil Service including questions of women's eligibility for continued appointment equality of treatment with male colleagues pay and the assignment of clerical duties. Produced as the British government confronted the employment consequences of women's expanded wartime service it records official consideration of whether women who had entered departments under emergency conditions should retain a place in the postwar state workforce. Ministry of Reconstruction. Women's Advisory Committee. Report of the Sub-Committee Appointed to Consider the Position after the War of Women Holding Temporary Appointments in Government Departments. Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty. London: Published by His Majesty's Stationery Office 1919. Folio. 8 pages. The sub-committee consisted of six women and two men and was charged specifically with examining the position of women holding temporary government appointments after the war. Its recommendations address routes by which women might become permanent government employees and argue for treatment on terms comparable to male colleagues including questions of equal pay and the expectation that women should not automatically be assigned additional clerical work because of their sex. As an official parliamentary publication rather than an outside campaign tract the report documents how women's wartime employment had become an administrative question within government itself. Women entered British government departments in substantially increased numbers during World War I filling posts created or expanded by wartime administration while large numbers of men were serving in the armed forces. The end of the war raised immediate questions about whether these appointments would be terminated converted into permanent positions or reorganized along sex-segregated lines. This report preserves the Women's Advisory Committee's intervention in that process and records specific arguments over permanence pay duties and women's place in the postwar Civil Service.

An official 1919 statement of the employment claims advanced for women whose wartime government service had demonstrated their capacity to perform work previously reserved largely for men. unknown
1940réf. 223731940. Women's EmploymentLaborFeminismWWII Archive of ten original photos documenting American women's industrial labor during the 1930s and 1940s. Original black-and-white press photographs taken in various factories during World War II including steel works textiles candy production and industrial assembly lines. Stamped by press agencies including Acme Newspictures Brown Brothers and International News Photos several with annotated captions on verso. This collection of press photos captures the pivotal moment when women entered the industrial workforce en masse replacing men who were fighting overseas. These images were part of a wartime propaganda campaign to normalize and promote women's factory work paving the way for long-term shifts in gender roles in the American labor force. In one striking image captioned by the N.E.A. press service as "Portrait for Mother's Day" a steel worker identified as Mrs. Neel of Gary Indiana is praised as "the American Mother- 1943 style" echoing the iconic Rosie the Riveter with a new image of female patriotism: overalls bandanna badge and goggles in hand. Another shows women boxing chocolates along a conveyor line while several others reveal the mechanical precision and physical intensity of jobs in textile finishing labeling and industrial equipment handling. This archive is emblematic of the historical inflection point that sparked the modern women's labor movement. The war effort validated women's technical skills and economic participation giving rise to a postwar generation of women who emboldened by their wartime service laid the intellectual and organizational groundwork for second wave feminism. Many of these workers would later confront the "return to domesticity" in the 1950s and become active in labor organizing civil rights and feminist causes by the 1960s. Light edge wear. Overall good to very good condition. A photographic archive capturing the genesis of modern women's industrial labor and the cultural origins of second wave feminism in the WWII workplace. unknown
