| Summary | "Working With the Working Woman" by Cornelia Stratton Parker is an observational account written in the early 20th century. The work captures the experiences and thoughts of women working in factories, highlighting their realities, struggles, and environments. The book seeks to present a humanized perspective of the working women’s lives as they navigate their roles in industrial society. The opening of the book sets the stage for the author's immersive journey into the world of factory work. Parker introduces her motivations for taking on factory jobs: an eagerness to connect with and understand the experiences of working women firsthand. She describes her entrance into a candy factory, detailing the coldness of the environment, the physical demands of the job, and the lively dynamics among the diverse group of women workers. Through her narrative, the reader gains insight into the camaraderie and psychological challenges faced by these women, along with the vivid description of their day-to-day experiences, from the monotony of packing chocolates to personal interactions that create a unique workplace culture.
