Mildred Pierce and His Girl Friday: Portrait of Working Women in the Pre- and Post-World War Period His Girl Friday and Mildred Pierce are two films from the 1940's that deal with the position of women within the workforce in the time prior to America's involvement in the war, and after the tide turned in the Allies' favor respectively.

nineteenth century men and women migrated from rural areas to urban areas for industrial work (Smith, p.142). This change ushered in the system of wage labor which became the way most members of lower class gained income. However, wages for workers were incredibly low (Smith, p.145). The blooming trend among the middle-class of the head of household as the only working individual of the family was completely unattainable for working class families. It was a necessity for lower-class women to work to support
I have learned so much while working at the state hospital. I have so many people with all types of mental illness from week to week each person with a different situation or illness. I work on the men’s unit of the hospital. This unit house 25 men and sometimes if it is an overflow the unit will borrow rooms from the other side, which is the women’s unit.

Disparities between upper and working class women and their roles in society are made very obvious in gothic literature. However, they are especially highlighted in Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, in which the protagonist sits between the upper and lower classes because of her own choice to marry a man from a higher class than herself. In the time period that the book was written, there were still large distinctions in class, though it was also a period that allowed for more social mobility because
society. The society composes of men and women, each one of them has his vital role which makes the society move on.

They think that it takes her away from her family and from her relationships. There are many reasons which prove the bad effects and negatives of working women which are low income in comparison
During WWII, women took over the work force, and had such inspirations as Rosie the Riveter. This created a generation of women who wanted more out of life than birthing children, and keeping a nice home for their husband. The end of the war, however, brought with it a decrease of working women. In the 1950’s the rate of working women had slightly rebounded to 29% following the post-war decrease in 1945. These women were well rounded, working outside the home, and still having dinner on the table
Introduction Victimization can occurs with anyone, but women in the workforce are extremely vulnerable to being victimized in their place of employment. An increase of employed women has lead to large pitfall for them. Unfortunately, women lack workplace protection, often being employed to jobs with no benefits and without a union. In turn, women are often exposed to many types of violence such as predatory, situational and various types of abuse. Predatory violence is often done with intent while
of workers under capitalism. The feminist movement, lead by middle-class women, criticized the exploitation of women. Each movement on its own ignored the fundamental objective of the other. Yet, out of these two movements emerged socialist feminists like Agnes Smedley, who were determined to bring each movement together and give birth to a new vision that would shed light on the dual oppression of the working-class women. Agnes Smedley, in Daughter of Earth, shows this dual oppression by exposing
Female Discrimination in the Labor Force In the past decades there has been a dramatic increase in the number of women participating in the labor force. This expansion has unfortunately shown how women are still being treated as inferior citizens when comparing their wages and the jobs they are hired for to that of men. Many women in similar occupations as men, and having the same qualifications are only paid a fraction of what their male counterparts are paid. The only reasonable explanation that

Women and Consumer Behaviour INTRODUCTION Consumer behaviour can be defined as “the acts of individuals directly involved in obtaining and using economic and services, including the decision process that precede and determine these acts.” (Engel et al, 1968, p 5) Buyer behaviour refers to “the acts of individuals directly involved in the exchange of money for economic goods and services and the decision process that determined these act. “(Engel et al, 1968, p 5).

Both Virginia Woolf, in a speech addressing a graduating all women class, and Naomi Wolf, in her text The Beauty Myth, contemplate feminism from an economic viewpoint. While Woolf believes women need money and a room of their own to have economic independence, Wolf gives credence to the fact that the beauty industry is hindering the independence of women. Through male pomposity, the conventional lives of women, obsession with physical appearance, and the reality that beauty is diverse, both Woolf

Some say that the pressures of maternity are becoming an obstacle for many women who wish to continue
Mitchel, to Governor Smith, to Governor Roosevelt, to President Roosevelt, to the national scene . . . . It's all in one episode.-Frances Perkins. INTRODUCTION By April 1933, when Governor Herbert H. Lehman signed the new minimum wage bill for working women, the agenda pursued by the Women's Joint Legislative Conference began to assume national proportions for three reasons. First, the election of New York State Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt as president in November of 1932 presented an opportunity

The only jobs that Carrie could possibly get were in the factories that, paid low wages, had poor working conditions, and long hours. She knew that after she paid rent to her brother-in-law, she would have very little left to buy all the beautiful things that she longed for. When Carrie took the job at the shoe factory, she did not like the hard work and considered the other women who worked there to be common. When winter arrived
