Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Vocations for the Trained Woman, Vol. 1: Opportunities Other Than Teaching This book is the outgrowth of a conviction that many women who are unfitted for teaching drift into it because it is the vocation with which they are most familiar; that the teaching which results is injurious to both teacher and pupil; that many who make poor teachers might become able workers if wisely guided into other fields. To suggest to such women, and to others about to choose an occupation, some lines of work now open to them and the equipment which they should have to justify a hope of success in any given line, is the purpose of the following papers. The work was begun by Miss Mabel Parton, Director of the Research Department of the Women´s Educational and Industrial Union, 1906 to 1909, with the co-operation of Miss Annie Marion MacLean, Professor of Sociology, Adelphi College, Brooklyn, representing The Inter-Municipal Research Committee. Two research fellows were to gather facts from representative men and women engaged in various occupations in Boston and New York, and their reports were to furnish material for the book. The articles by Miss Gertrude Marvin in the present volume represent the beginning of the investigation in Boston, which was made possible by the generous contribution of the late Mr. Henry S. Grew and of Mrs. Henry Pickering. As it soon became evident, however, that thorough studies must involve longer time and more labor than was then available, the plan was modified. An English publication, "The Finger Post," a Guide to the Professions and Occupations of Educated Women," suggested a series of articles by specialists, and this idea was at once followed up by Miss Parton in Boston and Miss MacLean in New York.
