By Carroll Davidson Wright

Book Overview

The Working Girls of Boston is a historical non-fiction book written by Carroll Davidson Wright in 1889. The book provides a detailed account of the working conditions and lives of young women in Boston during the late 19th century. Wright, who was the first Commissioner of Labor in the United States, conducted extensive research and interviews with working women to uncover the harsh realities they faced in their daily lives. He sheds light on the struggles of women who worked in factories, laundries, and other industries, often for long hours and low wages. The book also explores the social and economic factors that led to the exploitation of these women, including poverty, lack of education, and gender inequality. The Working Girls of Boston is a significant work of social history that provides insight into the lives of working-class women in the late 19th century and the challenges they faced in their pursuit of economic independence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
