The Canadian Girl at Work: A Book of Vocational Guidance

A practical vocational guide addressed to girls and their advisers, offering concise descriptions of many occupations—factory, retail, office, teaching, nursing, dressmaking, millinery, telephone work, farming, library work, journalism, the arts, and home employments—and the training, daily duties, and prospects associated with each. It stresses the value of domestic knowledge alongside technical skill, considers living conditions, health, wages and regional differences, and provides advice on apprenticeship, continuing learning, and the attitude toward work needed to connect paid employment with competent home-making.
