To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The study of the special cases shows, of course, that there are innumerable factors involved ; but if we seek for the most striking features of woman's work, here and abroad, from a more general sur- vey of the subject, it would seem that the aim of the German woman is to further the interests of the household, and that of the American woman to escape from the household. Germany, with its very condensed population, was not able to do without the help of female muscle in running the economic mac...hine ; Amer- ica, with its thin population and its great natural richness, does not really need this. In Germany almost a fourth of the women are at work; in America hardly more than a tenth. Above all, in Germany the women are doing the hard work, two and a half millions being engaged in agricul- ture against half a million here, of whom the 150 AMERICAN TRAITS greater part are negroes. The condition of the country as a whole does not demand woman's aid ; man's labor can support the households of this country, and, economically, the country would be better off if female labor were almost entirely suppressed, both by prejudice and by in- stitutions, since it lowers the wages of the men, and wastes domestic energies which, in a more intensified effort, would save the more.
