About this book

Paid work for women, and where more of it might be found, is the practical concern of Virginia Penny's reference volume, published in Boston in 1863. Her preface argues that advice about woman's sphere is not enough without trades actually opened to her, and that the Civil War had left many wives, mothers and sisters of soldiers to support themselves. She dedicates the work to industrious women striving to earn a livelihood. As a cyclopædia of woman's work, it surveys the employments one by one.
