"The Monotony of Labor" - The Literary World

Seldom have we read a more interesting, or, in its way, a more valuable book than this "The Woman Who Toils," by Bessie and Marie Van Vorst. These two women, of the so-called upper class, became factory hands for a brief season. They sought "jobs," got them, and worked at them in a Pittsburgh factory, a small mill town in New York, at clothing making in Chicago, at shoemaking in Lynn, and in a Southern cotton mill.

Description:An unsigned but very positive review of "The Woman Who Toils" by the sisters Bessie and Marie Van Vorst, praising them for undertaking to experience all different types of labor firsthand.
