About this book
Women's clubs, factory floors, the common law, domestic service and the vote are the subjects Rheta Childe Dorr takes up in this 1910 survey of what American women were asking of their country. Many chapters first ran as articles in Hampton's Magazine. The book is dedicated to the members of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.
Her opening argument cites the 1900 census, which counted nearly six million women in wage work outside the home. Eleven chapters range from the turn of culture clubs toward social service to a chapter on suffrage, with photographs of demonstrations in London and New York.
