Ladies At Work: Papers On Paid Employments For Ladies (1893) by Susan Mary Elizabeth Jeune is a collection of essays that explore the topic of women’s paid employment in the late 19th century. The author, who was herself a prominent advocate for women’s education and employment, examines various professions that were open to women at the time, including teaching, nursing, and clerical work. She also discusses the challenges that women faced in the workplace, such as discrimination and unequal pay.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of women’s employment. In the first section, Jeune provides an overview of the history of women’s work, from the domestic labor of the past to the emerging opportunities for paid employment in the present. She also discusses the social and economic factors that influenced women’s participation in the workforce.The second section of the book examines specific professions that were open to women, including teaching, nursing, and factory work. Jeune provides detailed descriptions of the requirements for each profession, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing these careers.The third section of the book focuses on the challenges that women faced in the workplace, such as discrimination, sexual harassment, and unequal pay. Jeune argues that these issues were symptomatic of a broader societal problem, namely the unequal treatment of women in all areas of life.Overall, Ladies At Work provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of women’s employment in the late 19th century.
