Explore "Women in the Factory" by Adelaide Mary Anderson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"The sweat of industry would dry and dye but for the end it workes too."
"The sweat of industry! " It was in a factory where excessively hot, heavy, and humid work, in which women bore their share, was carried on that a foreman once said to a Woman Factory Inspector: "We are told that man should earn his bread in the sweat of his brow, but here we earn it in the sweat of the whole body. " The saying implied a sense of the need of a new standard of control. It is with a new social way of control that this final chapter is concerned, and we were only at the beginning of seeing what it might achieve when the period covered by this book closes.
