Summary: "Women Wage-Earners: Their Past, Their Present, and Their Future" by Helen Campbell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work examines the evolving roles and socioeconomic conditions of women who earn wages, tackling the complexities surrounding women's labor rights and employment opportunities. The book addresses the historical context of women's work, the challenges they face in the labor market, and the implications of their economic involvement on family life and societal structures. The opening of the book begins with an introduction by Richard T. Ely, who underscores the significance of the topic in the era, emphasizing the growing consideration for women's rights and welfare as essential for the entire society. Ely highlights the historical struggles of women to gain economic independence, presenting the initial agitation for women's rights as simplistic, which has evolved into a more complex understanding of the issues at hand. Following this, Campbell shares her preface, noting that her work originated as a prize-winning monograph that aims to provide a resource for the study of women's labor while acknowledging the limited availability of comprehensive data on the subject. Overall, this opening portion sets the stage for a detailed exploration of women's labor dynamics, intertwining economic concerns with ethics and social justice.
