Title: 1900's - WOMEN IN THE WORKFORCE
Headings: 

Content: Many dressmakers offered their services to women of high social class who did not possess the skill or time to craft their own garments, or to families in which none of the members possessed the skills necessary to sew clothing or mend tattered garments. Nurses: While women were not able to pursue many medical professions in the 1900s, they could often find employment as nurses. These women could work in hospitals or doctors offices, as well as near the battlefront during times of war. Just as with teaching, many women left the nursing profession upon getting married. Domestic Service Workers: Women of low-income levels who needed to contribute to their families' incomes often did so by working as domestic service workers. These workers would cook and clean for high-income families, or work as a nanny to tend to the family's children. In some cases, these workers were live-in, but in others the workers could commute daily to and from their place of work, spending their night hours at home with their own families.
