The presidential campaign is replete with allusions to better times and eclipsed golden ages of American greatness. But in a new review from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the economist Carol Boyd Leon paints a sociological portrait of America as it was 100 years ago, when technology was meager, financial ruin was one downturn away, war was ongoing in Europe, and the choices that Americans have come to expect—in their cars, clothes, food, and homes—were preceded by a monotonous consumer economy. In 1915, Americans walked everywhere (or took a streetcar, if they lived in cities), lived in three-generation homes that they rarely owned, ate almost as much lard as chicken, and spent Friday nights dancing to player pianos. In short: Everything was worse, except for the commute.

America suffered worse working conditions, in just about every way.

For men: Work for men was more widespread, more dangerous, worse paid, and, well, just more annoying. According to the 1920 census, 85 percent of men over 14 were in the labor force, compared with just 69 percent for men over 16 today. It was the dawn of scientific management, with factory workers introduced to a brand new office colleague, the time clock. Manufacturing workers averaged 55 hours at work per week, 10 percent more than self-reported averages today. And the jobs were more dangerous: With a fatality rate of 61 deaths per 100,000 workers, the workplace was about 30 times more dangerous than it is today.

For women: Women were much less likely to work, and in 1915, many were finding employment at elementary and high schools. The reason for women’s early entry into education in the U.S., however, is a little depressing. School boards preferred female teachers not only because they were seen as more loving, but also because they would do what male principals told them while accepting less than a man’s wage.

For the elderly: For those who did make it to old age (something of a feat back then), Social Security didn’t exist, and in bad times, poverty among the old was so bad that contemporaries wrote of growing old as if it were a dystopia—the “haunting fear in the winter of life.” In 1938 a writer with the American Association for Old-Age Security said "our modern system of industrial production has rendered our lives insecure to the point of despair.” The industrializing economy was no country for old men or women. As families moved off farms into cities and suburbs, it became harder for some old people to find work in factories, which ran on limber sinews and sweat. In the 40 years before 1920, the share of men over 65 working on farms dropped 39 percent.

An idea explored about women's rights in "Women Who Spoke Up", in your own words. Explain in 5-10 sentences. Short answer
Ann [662]

Answer and Explanation:

The text presents the idea that women were created to be kept silent and to have influences only inside their homes. This was done to leave women in a captive situation, as the world did not offer the rights and resources for them to get rid of these so limiting roles, but women knew their values and started to face society and demand that they be heard and attended to. because they were deserving of rights and respect and that is why they used their voices, even against the majority of the population and fought for what they knew they should have.

In paragraph 5, Hitchcock says that an audience “will work like the devil” for him if he tells them all the secrets his characte
erica [24]

Hithcock believes that his audience is moved to the suspense that is affected by the characters, but they like to "play God" and have access to the information before them. Thus Hitchcock states that by showing the public the secrets that the characters do not know, the audience is motivated and anxious to know how these stories will come about and will work hard to disseminate and leaflet the stories for other people to know about them.

This sentence shows how Hitchcock's stories grow and flourish over time, being his purpose for writing, creating stories that are not outdated, as the exciting thing is to see their unfolding and not a possible surprise.
