Abstract

Women at Work

The article discusses some books that focus on working women. The object of the editors of "Occupations for Women," one of the few interesting books in its field, has been to give as human and as social an interpretation of the various occupations open for women as is consistent with the mass of information to be included. The book is intended as an aid to all those called upon to advise girls in the choice of an occupation and for the use of the girls themselves. "Fields of Work for Women," is written in simple fashion and is addressed primarily to girls and women who have completed at least one or two years of high-school work. It makes the very excellent point that girls must begin to gain an acquaintance with the occupational world in the same fashion as their brothers-by odd jobs, summer work, etc.
