Publisher's Synopsis
Women's Industries in Liverpool is a book written by Amy Harrison in 1904 that explores the economic impact of legislation regulating the labor of women in Liverpool. The book examines the working conditions of women in various industries, such as textiles, laundry, and food preparation, and the effects of legislation on their wages, hours, and overall well-being. Harrison argues that while some legislation has improved the lives of women workers, such as the Factory Acts of the 19th century, other laws have had negative consequences, such as the Contagious Diseases Acts, which allowed for the forced examination and detention of women suspected of prostitution. The book provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the economic and social conditions of working-class women in Liverpool during the early 20th century and sheds light on the ongoing struggle for gender equality in the workplace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
