Like the other titles in the series, Working Americans: Women at Work observes the lives of various Americans, decade by decade. This new edition profiles women young and old, from a wide range of geographical and social backgrounds, and from a vast variety of professions. Some profiles focus on fortune, some on fame, some on a regular paycheck, and some on no paycheck at all, but all demonstrate the continuous challenge faced by working women in America---whether they pushed papers, pitched baseballs, played the piano, changed public opinion, or joined the Navy. Arranged in 13 chapters, this newest update to the Working Americans series features 42 historical and current Profiles of women from across the country, at home and abroad. Each profile offers detailed insight into the life of the featured individual, dividing focus into three categories: Life at Home, Life at Work, and Life in the Community. [...] Finally, this brand-new edition additionally includes a list of books for Further Reading on the topic and an alphabetical Index for the reader's convenience."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Working class $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Working class $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Labor $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Occupations $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Occupations $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Social classes $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Social classes $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions. 941 $a 2 952 $l RSSX851 $d 20180106073109.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20160729010552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB012BF6555111E6B26E45E1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
