Title: The First Year. A Study of Women's Participation in Federal Defense Activities
Description: Washington, US Government Printing Office, 1941. Wraps. Wraps. 39 pp. With a few black and white photos. A short survey of the then growing role women were taking in the workplace of the United States, employed in factories and other jobs previously held by men. The author starts by stating that women still "cherish their greater interest in the protection of the home, family, and the community," subtly reinforcing stereotypes it seems the author is hoping to overcome. The end of the work argues for the equal compensation for equal work regardless of sex, and that the successful performance of women in a variety of jobs "is not a menace to the zeal of man." GOOD condition. Ex-library with minor notations to the cover and interior, as well as library perforations to the title page. Uneven toning to the covers. Minor soiling and creasing. Some toning in the interior. Good .
