About this book
In the early 20th century, as the restaurant industry burgeoned, the plight of women workers became increasingly critical. "Behind the Scenes in a Restaurant: A Study of 1017 Women Restaurant Employees" by The Consumers’ League of New York City meticulously examines the harsh realities faced by female employees, highlighting issues such as wage disparities and unsafe working conditions. This groundbreaking document reveals the stark contrast between the glamorous façade of dining establishments and the often grim experiences of those who serve behind the scenes. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this study not only sheds light on the struggles of these women but also serves as a crucial reference for understanding labor rights and gender equality in the workplace.
