Excerpt from The Living Wage of Women Workers: A Study of Incomes and Expenditures of 450 Women in the City of Boston The question of the living wage for the woman worker is hardly touched at all in the existing literature of work and wages. There are numerous studies of women's work, but they do not deal with the living wage; there are also various treatises on the latter subject, but they do not discuss it with reference to women workers. The need of definite information on the cost of living for the wage-earning woman is a real one. A few years ago a group of working women, in making a demand upon their employer for higher wages, declared, We cannot live on what we earn. The employer inquired, Then what wages can you live on? No one of the women could answer the question definitely or in any other way than by an estimate of her own individual needs. In general, the employer who wishes to pay a living wage to his women employes cannot tell what the amount should be. The determination of standards of expenditure and remuneration for women is thus a matter not merely of academic interest, but really of practical importance.
