Italian Women in Industry: A Study of Conditions in New York City is a book written by Louise Christine Odencrantz and published in 1919. The book is a sociological study of the working conditions and experiences of Italian immigrant women in New York City during the early 20th century. Odencrantz conducted extensive research and interviews with Italian women working in various industries, including garment factories, laundries, and cigar-making shops. The book provides a detailed account of the challenges and hardships faced by these women, including low wages, long working hours, and poor working conditions. It also examines the social and cultural factors that influenced their experiences, such as language barriers, discrimination, and the role of family and community. In addition to its focus on the experiences of Italian immigrant women, the book also sheds light on larger issues related to immigration, labor, and gender during this period in American history. Odencrantz's work provides a valuable historical perspective on the struggles and contributions of immigrant women in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
