Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the results of an investigation into the lives of artificial flower makers in New York City from 1910 to 1912. Conducted by the Russell Sage Foundation, the study focuses on the working conditions and daily life of women employed in the trade. The author describes the inherent lack of artistic opportunity for artificial flower makers due to the industrialization of the trade. Despite its reliance on handwork, the trade had, by the early 20th century, been taken over by factories driven by market demands for volume over quality. The author also discusses the prevalence of homeworking and subcontracting within the trade, which contributed to a system of "sweated labor" and the dilution of the trade through the hiring of less skilled workers. This undervaluing of skilled work in the artificial flower trade was, the author argues, a major contributing factor to the poor wages, long hours, and precarious employment that was typical for so many women in the trade. Through an examination of the demographics of women in the trade, including nationality, age, and education, this book provides a valuable insight into the conditions that limited the lives of working women in the early 20th century.
