About This Book

An examination of organized women's movements and clubs that traces the evolution from cultural associations to active social-service agencies and political advocates. It surveys legal disabilities and comparative restrictions, labor and factory conditions, domestic service issues, and community responses such as education, public-health work, and traveling libraries. The book describes practical reforms proposed or enacted by women’s groups, strategies for assisting vulnerable women, and arguments for industrial and civic change. Throughout, suffrage and broader civic participation are presented as tools for securing social and economic improvements and for amplifying the collective aims of these grassroots organizations.
