By Mary N. Winslow

Book Overview

Women Street Car Conductors and Ticket Agents is a book written by Mary N. Winslow and published in 1921. The book focuses on the experiences of women who worked as conductors and ticket agents on streetcars in the early 20th century. At the time, it was considered unusual for women to hold these positions, which were traditionally filled by men. Winslow interviews several women who worked as conductors and ticket agents, and they share their stories of how they got their jobs, the challenges they faced, and the satisfaction they felt from their work. The book also provides historical context, discussing the changing role of women in the workforce and the social and cultural attitudes towards women in the early 20th century.Overall, Women Street Car Conductors and Ticket Agents offers a unique perspective on the history of women in the workforce and provides insight into the experiences of women who broke through gender barriers to pursue careers in traditionally male-dominated fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
