Summary

In her groundbreaking work, "How Women May Earn a Living," Mercy Grogan provides a comprehensive exploration of the economic opportunities available to women in the late 19th century. With a blend of practical advice and persuasive rhetoric, Grogan articulates the societal constraints that women faced, while advocating for their financial independence through various occupations, from domestic service to more entrepreneurial ventures. The book is not only a reflection of the era'Äôs emerging feminist sentiments but also serves as a manual for women seeking to navigate the male-dominated workforce. Grogan's writing employs a clear, accessible style, revealing her intent to empower readers by presenting them with knowledge and options in a rapidly changing world. Mercy Grogan, a noted advocate for women's rights and education, was particularly influenced by the socio-economic transformations of her time. Her background as a social reformer and her personal experiences with financial hardship undoubtedly shaped her commitment to educating women about their potential for economic self-sufficiency. Grogan'Äôs passion for the cause resonates throughout her work, making it both a historical document and a beacon of inspiration for aspiring women. This book is essential reading for scholars of women's studies, economics, and social history, as well as for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of women's labor movements. Grogan'Äôs insightful analysis and empowering message continue to hold relevance today, making it a timeless guide for women striving to assert their independence in the workforce.

    On the surface, the average workplace seems picture-perfect. But despite all the hard-fought gains scored over the years by employees, women, especially of color, are still facing numerous unique challenges which often tend to be misunderstood, read out of context, ignored, or employers and colleagues are oblivious to their existence. In most cases, this practice is more prevalent in male-dominated industries. 
Instead of staying on to fight, conform, explain themselves, or wait to be understood, women of color are choosing to leave these industries for women-dominated fields, or venture into business quietly, and in large numbers. The result is a silent exodus that threatens to upset the dynamics of the workplace as we know it, and lead to the loss of an integral and productive part of the workforce, which in turn, could lead to immeasurable losses to all stakeholders if not urgently addressed.  
This book is meant to shake up how we think about equity, inclusion, and our shared responsibility. When women of color leaders step back, we all move backward. In The Great Resignation: A Race to Save Women of Color Leaders in the Workplace – and Our Collective Roles, Deejay Mash lays bare the stakes—and shows how you can be part of the solution.  
Ready to lead change?  
Which pressing issues are affecting women of color and prompting them to leave their jobs? What role can we play to protect the rich diversity and integrity of the workplace? How can we ensure that growth opportunities are equally accessible to all in the workplace?  
These are just a few of the critical questions this book sets out to interrogate and seek comprehensive answers to – and as it turns out, everybody involved holds a vital piece of the puzzle.  
Join the movement to uplift women of color, challenge systemic barriers, and re-imagine workplaces where everyone thrives.

In 1867, less than three years after the Civil War left the city in ruins, Hungarian Jewish immigrant Morris Rich opened a small dry goods store on what is now Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

Kennedy become America's thirty-fifth president. With an eye for accuracy and exacting detail, Clemmons recounts the complete history of this treasured southern institution.
