Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labor, 1889: Working Women in Large Cities The object of the investigation now under consideration was to secure information relative to the condition of working women in our large cities. By working women is meant that class of women who earn their living in the occupations calling for manual labor. The professional and semi-professional callings, like those of teaching, stenography, type writing, telegraphy, etc., have not, as a rule, been recognized in the investigation. Nor have women employed in textile factories been in cluded, except incidentally, as various investigations have already been made relative to the condition of women and men in such establish ments. Moreover, textile factories are not usually situated in large cities, and the special object of this study has been to discover what cities have to ofi'er women in the way of manual labor. Therefore those women who work in great city manufactories upon light manual or mechanical labor and in stores are the ones that we recognize under the popular term working women.
