Publisher's Synopsis

""A Woman's Life Work"" is a book written by Laura S. Haviland that explores the life and work of women in the 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of the struggles and challenges faced by women during this time period, including limited access to education, job opportunities, and political rights. Haviland also discusses the role of women in the abolitionist movement and their efforts to promote social justice and equality. The book is a powerful and inspiring account of the determination and resilience of women throughout history and serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for gender equality.The unbounded confidence they placed in me was surprising; for they often brought their business papers for me to examine, to see whether they were right. One man brought me a note, as the employer could not pay him for his work in money. He said it was a note for groceries; but the grocer refused to take it, and said it was not good. I told him there was neither date nor name to it. I wrote the man a letter, asking him to rectify the mistake, which he did; but he gave his employee credit for only half the days he had worked. They were so often deceived and cheated in many ways, because of their extreme ignorance, that I did not wonder at the conclusion one escaped fugitive had reached.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
