| − | This article provides some moral relief from the sources in this week's reading that are exemplary of ideologies which exacerbated societal conditions for women in the workplace. For example, the "difficulty" American-born girls felt about competing against a "foreign born and colored element," (297) noted and justified by Lucy Salmon, is ridiculous; Isabel Eaton, a black domestic worker, claims that black domestic workers often can't secure work because "white help is preferred" (299). Racial divides like this, so incorporated into American society, emphasize just how radical the Knights of Labor organization was to accept laborers regardless of race or gender. Are their radical methods generally blamed for the groups eventual failure? --Seth Mintzer | + | This article provides some moral relief from the sources in this week's reading that are exemplary of ideologies which exacerbated conditions for women in the workplace.
