Maclachlan, Gretchen. "Women's Work: Atlanta's Industrialization and Urbanization, 1879-1929," Emory University, May 1992. Advisor: Dana F. White (2, 22, 23)
This study examines Atlanta’s laboring women and girls in their workplace, household, neighborhood, and city settings. The work of Atlanta’s women and girls was affected by the growing presence of female-employing industries and by the general availability of work rising out of urbanization. These patterns were affected by the existence of two female labor forces in Atlanta, one black and the other white. During this time Atlanta changed spatially, both in the sense of growing outwardly and adding new territory, and in the sense that race replaced gender as a major contextual dimension of the city’s various areas. Women of different races were divided in experience and interests.
