Book Description

Excerpt from Industrial Employment of Women: In the Middle and Lower Ranks I have not thought it necessary to make much change in the text of this treatise, as it appeared in the edition published by me anonymously now thirteen years ago. I have, however, added the returns of the census of 1861 to the statistics given in Chapters VIII. and IX.; and I could not omit to notice the remarkable advance that has taken place, during these years, in public opinion and in legislation, on the relative position of the sexes - an advance that has surpassed my expectation.
