Une « guerre contre les femmes » ? Pas si simple
Depuis la naissance de la « Nouvelle droite » américaine dans les années 1960, la direction du Parti républicain a cherché à gagner l’adhésion de pans de la population qui par ailleurs seraient enclins à rejeter les choix économiques républicains en axant ses campagnes sur les problèmes « sociaux », lesquels sont essentiellement des questions relatives au genre et au sexe.

Modern Industry in Relation to the Family, Health, Education, Morality
Florence Kelley (1859–1932) was a committed socialist and political reformer who campaigned against child labour in the United States. In 1899 she became the leader of the National Consumers' League, an anti-sweatshop and pro-minimum wage pressure group which she supported until her death. This volume, first published in 1914, describes her views on the problems facing American society due to the expansion of industry. Kelley discusses the negati…
A Selection from Modern Industry
The Sweating System
In Chicago, where it dates back scarcely a generation, the sweating system seems to be a direct outgrowth of the factory system; that is, the sweat-shops have gradually superseded the manufacturers’ shops.

Obstacles To the Enforcement of Child Labor Legislation
Sixty years ago in England the great obstacle to the enforce- ment of child labor legislation, and even to the enactment of such legislation, was the attitude of the cotton manufacturers of that kingdom, who went in delegations to Parliament, and said, &dquo;Yes, there is child labor, and it is a good thing that the children should learn to work.We are carrying on schools to teach them to work.Moreover, it is good for the kingdom that there shoul…

Child Labor Legislation
Consumers' League It is most desirable that the present widespread agitation for child labor legislation may achieve permanent results of a uniform character.Such laws as now exist are alike in no two states; they are enforced differently when they are enforced at all; they are uniform only in their failure to afford adequate protection to the rising generation of the working-class.It is the aim of this paper to set forth some essential points of…
