Cover of Helen Campbell: Prisoners of Poverty (PDF)

Home economics expert and social reformer Helen Campbell shocked the world with the publication of this chilling expose of the lives of female workers in late-nineteenth-century New York City. In addition to detailing the long hours and poor working conditions faced by many women, Campbell also grapples with the question of how paid employment impacts women’s overall status in the culture.
