Womens Work Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Employments of Women: A Cyclopaedia of Woman's Work Much of the verbal information I give is impartial, as it has been given by those with whom I talked in a casual way, they not know ing I had any object in view; and frequently it was done in a respect ful, yet ofi'-hand way, when making purchases. I have often bought articles merely for an excuse to talk with people, and gain informa tion on their occupations. I desire to present to those interested a clear and succinct view of the condition of business in the United States, the openings for entering into business, the vacancies women may fill and the crowded marts they may avoid, the qualifications needed for a selected pursuit, and the pursuits to which they are best adapted; also the probable result pecuniarily of each calling honorably pursued: in short, it is intended as a business manual for women. I wish to make it a practical work - useful, not ornamental. It is more a bringing together of facts, than a presentation of ideas - more a book of research than re ection. Yet the statements given are important, not merely as facts, but as being suggestive of things essential to or connected with occupations. The limits of each subject must necos sarily be short, as I wish to form a volume to come within the reach of every one that would desire a copy.
