    Women Working, 1870-1930

     
    http://ocp.hul.harvard.edu/ww/
    How women worked and lived between the Civil War and Great Depression.
    5/24/2004
    The Harvard University Library Open Collections Program mines Harvard's large number of libraries to create digital collections of primary historical materials for use by teachers, students, and researchers. Women Working is OCP's first project, a searchable archive of materials to be drawn ultimately from 2,200 books, 1,000 photographs, and 10,000 pages of manuscript collections. The site can be searched by keyword or browsed by topic. In addition to primary materials, the site also offers short biographies of important figures, a timeline, and a list of organizations significant to working women. The materials reflect not only the working lives of women in this tumultuous period, but their social lives as well. Among the gems here, Louise Marion Bosworth's study of incomes and expenditures of 450 Boston women, published in 1911.
