Note 259 — Chapter VIII · THE INDUSTRIAL DISADVANTAGES OF DOMESTIC SERVICE
Reading edition
“Housework soon unfits one for any other kind of work. I did not realize what I was doing until too late.”
“I should prefer to housework a clerkship in a store or a place like that of sewing-girl in a tailor-shop, because there would be a possibility of learning the trade and then going into business for myself, or at least rising to some responsible place under an employer.”
“I would give up housework if I could find another position that would enable me to advance instead of remaining in the same rut day after day.”
