Black Women’s Labor in 1920 Boston uses Boston census data to elucidate the kind of work available to Black women in 1920. It does not provide a complete record but,instead, a representative sample of women between the ages of 20-30. The stories of individual women included here, though filtered through official records and government data, are meant to give readers some insight into the lives of these women and the cultural norms that shaped their work opportunities.
This project is in the process of being migrated and will be made available soon.
