The Millinery Trade in Boston and Philadelphia: A Study of Women in Industry (1916) is a book written by Lorinda Perry that explores the experiences of women working in the millinery industry in two major American cities at the turn of the 20th century. The book is a sociological study that examines the working conditions, wages, and social status of women employed in the millinery trade, which was a significant industry for women during this period.The book begins with an overview of the history of the millinery trade and its importance in the lives of women in Boston and Philadelphia. Perry then goes on to describe the working conditions in the millinery shops, including the long hours, low wages, and lack of job security. She also examines the social status of milliners, who were often seen as lower-class workers with little social mobility.Throughout the book, Perry draws on interviews with milliners and other industry experts to provide a detailed picture of the millinery trade and the women who worked in it. She also explores the ways in which women in the millinery trade organized and advocated for better working conditions and wages.Overall, The Millinery Trade in Boston and Philadelphia: A Study of Women in Industry (1916) is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of women in the millinery industry during a time of significant social and economic change in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
