Description

Excerpt from Ladies at Work: Papers on Paid Employments for Ladies If we compare the life of a modern woman with that of one at the beginning of the century, where can we find a greater contrast F' Then, fettered and surrounded with all the safeguards and prejudices of a narrow society, with no future before her, if she remained unmarried, save a life of dull monotony, often accompanied with very straitened means, was it a wonder that existence to her was a dreary wretchedness, obliged constantly as she was to keep up an appearance of gentility under super human difficulties, because it was a reproach to be poor, and a disgrace to make any attempt to earn her living? And thus her life was passed, till the day when the dark curtain fell on one who, perhaps, had she lived in these later days, would have been a useful and happy member of society. The lives of women and girls in the upper classes were both as uneventful and uninteresting, for if we take the novels of the early parts of the century which treat of English social life, they present as dreary a picture as one can conceive; in which women were shut out and debarred from taking their part or sharing in any way in the intellectual interests and occupations of their husbands or brothers.
