"Educated Working Women: Essays on the Economic Position of Women Workers in the Middle Classes" by Clara E. Collet is a collection of essays published in the early 20th century. The book examines the economic circumstances and challenges faced by educated women in the middle class, particularly in relation to their employment opportunities, wages, and societal expectations. Through this work, Collet seeks to highlight the complexities of women's roles in the workforce and engage with ongoing debates surrounding gender equality and women's economic independence. At the start of the volume, the author reflects on the historical context of women's education and employment. Collet critiques societal prejudices that have historically limited women's opportunities in professions such as medicine and education. She argues that the transition towards equality in education has not fully translated into similar opportunities and remuneration in the workforce, as many educated women face systemic barriers to achieving economic independence. The opening also discusses the importance of women's self-worth and encourages young women to pursue their interests and aspirations, rather than solely relying on marriage for financial security. Overall, Collet sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of these themes across her essays. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
