Guide to Hiring Women: 1943

My friend Kate emailed me this very helpful article,written by a man for a man who is toying with the idea of hiring women to work for him. Strangely when I found a re-published version online at the Seattle Post Intelligencer, the writer, Alyssa Rose had gotten it from her own friend Kate.





Here are a few choice morsels:

* When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some point in their lives. Older women ... are inclined to be cantankerous and fussy.

* General experience indicates that "husky" girls – those who are just a little on the heavy side – are more even tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.

* Give the female employee a definite day-long schedule of duties so that they'll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every few minutes.

I think I'll dedicate this lovely slideshow, "Women Who Dared" to the very thoughtful author of this article. Aww snap!
