Women's Work and War
Description
An account of the resource
Women's Work and War: A Bulletin of Facts Concerning the Employment of Women to Meet the Deficit of Man Power in Our National Industrial Emergency. Published by the National Women's Trade Union League. <br /><br />p.1 "The working women are eager to help win the war. To make their help effective is a problem which must be generally discussed. Therefore this Bulletin."<br /><br />"The United States is now calling into action two armies. The first is an army of men, trained and equipped for service. It carries with it all the splendid panoply of war.<br /><br />The second is a woman's army. It is neither trained nor equipped, nor conscious of its unity. Yet to give good service it must be all those things. <br /><br />The women's army is as necessary to us at this time as the men's army, it will feed and clothe and munition the men in the trenches. As more men are called to the training camps women will step into their places in the shops, thus constantly increasing the army of women upon whose shoulders will rest the whole economic burden of this country."<br /><br />p.4 The NWTUL advocated for reasonable standards for women workers on Government contracts. This pamphlet outlines those standards as follows:<br /><br />"Adult labor.<br />Wages-- <br />1. The highest rate prevailing in the industry effected.<br />2. Equal pay for equal work.<br />3. Trades without wage standards to be handled by an adjustment committee.<br />4. Adjustment committee to handle all wage questions and to keep all wages in fair proportion to increasing cost of living.<br />The Eight Hour Day.<br />One day rest in seven.<br />Prohibition of night work for women.<br />Standards of sanitation and fire protection.<br />Protection against over-fatigue and industrial diseases.<br />Prohibition of tenement house labor.<br />Exemption from call into industry of women whose small children need their care.<br />Exemption from call into industry of women two months before and after child birth."<br /><br />Note postmark promoting food conservation during World War I. <br />"Food will win the war. Don't waste it."

Eight and one-half Million Women Workers!
Description
An account of the resource
Pamphlet promoting the work of the National Women's Trade Union League of America. The NWTULA advocates for better working conditions, hours, and wages for women and girls.<br /><br />Cover illustration of a young female factory worker. Her apron and the smoke from factory smokestacks behind her are caught by the wind. Illustration by Winifred Bromhall, best known for her work as a children's book artist.<br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />p. 2 "According to the 1920 census, eight and one-half million women in the United States, 10 years of age and over, earn their own living and contribute to the support of others. This represents a half-million increase over 1910....<br /><br />One out of every 4 women wage-earners is in one of the manufacturing and mechanical industries."<br /><br />p. 3 "A Way Out? Trade union organization--more and more of it--with its machinery for the collective merchandising of the day's work.<br /><br />Voices here and there, raised in individual protest, are not heard above the din of the modern industrial machine. But the collective voice of millions of women who know for themselves the toll exacted for unnatural strain will compel a hearing for their industrial ills."

An account of the resource
A brief historical overview of the relationship between unionism and working women in Boston. This approach attempts to identify the causes for the wage and employment disparities of working women in comparison to working men, and therefore suggesting this inequality as the central reason for Boston’s working women link with unionism. <br /><br />Additionally, the booklet touches upon a handful of various labor unions organized exclusively by working women that lived and operated within the city of Boston during the turn of the century. <br /><br />These three pages represent an excerpt of a larger work.
