About This Book

A months-long social survey of Honolulu’s working women and girls compiles observations on employment conditions, housing, public health, and community life, balancing praise for good light, air, and comparatively moderate hours with concern about overcrowded tenements, precarious wages, and social risks facing young women. The study examines dependent children, local amusements, and the presence of unmarried men as factors affecting female welfare, compares local practices with reform measures elsewhere, and outlines preventive, organized responses such as vocational services, coordinated charitable action, housing improvements, and other constructive programs to address identified needs.
