The Role of Women in Librarianship, 1876-1976 by Kathleen de la Peña McCook Pdf
"The Role of Women in Librarianship 1876-1976: The Entry, Advancement and Struggle for Equalization in One Profession is a sourcebook compiled to provide a history of the first hundred years of a profession traditionally classes as a "women's profession" and to document the continuing struggle of women within that profession to achieve full opportunity and recognition"--Preface, page [ix].
I have found just the work for me, for I love it more all the time. Thus wrote one of several hundred professionally trained women who carried the gospel of books and libraries throughout the West during the early twentieth century. Pioneers in a profession, they regarded the West as a fertile field for their cultural crusade which included establishing traveling libraries in rural areas, participating in community-building activities, and professionalizing existing public and academic libraries and as a place where they could develop as independent women. Passet uses extensive archival material to provide a picture of the women librarians' experiences. She explores their education, family relationships, degree of autonomy, and reactions to the West. Her account is enlivened throughout by the words of the women themselves. It is further enriched by brief biographies of four women exemplifying the combination of personal and professional goals that motivated many women librarians to move west.
Satisfaction among librarians both male/female has been engaging the attention of several researchers by conducting various surveys and studies. It is believed that satisfactory functioning of library and information services depends to a large extent on adequate, able, and motivated staff. This book in eight chapters is an empirical investigation using statistical methods to study the job satisfaction level of the working women librarians of India. To measure the level of job satisfaction of women library professionals working in university and college libraries it takes into account all the off-the-job and on-the-job factors that affect the job satisfaction in women workers. It finds out that for job satisfaction a woman worker has to maintain a healthy and firm balance between her work and home. For this she needs co-operation of her colleagues and seniors as well. Though financial or monetary factors do not matter much but she feels satisfied and interested in the job if she gains respect from the family and admiration from colleagues. This unique work in the LIS field in India will help the fair sex and guide the administrators to get the best from the female staff. The findings of this investigation will enable library managers to know the areas of feelings of satisfaction and dissatisfaction among women library professionals. These findings will hopefully yield a better understanding of the problems of women professionals and help the managers in future to make apt decision for the proper growth of the organisation they work for.

At the time of her death, it seemed that Adelaide Hasse would simply pass from memory and be forgotten. However, by the turn of the century, American Libraries would sanctify her as one of its hundred library leaders of the twentieth century, one of only thirty women given this honor.

What a Woman Ought to Be and to Do by Stephanie J. Shaw Pdf
Stephanie J. Shaw takes us into the inner world of American black professional women during the Jim Crow era. This is a story of struggle and empowerment, of the strength of a group of women who worked against daunting odds to improve the world for themselves and their people. Shaw's remarkable research into the lives of social workers, librarians, nurses, and teachers from the 1870s through the 1950s allows us to hear these women's voices for the first time. The women tell us, in their own words, about their families, their values, their expectations. We learn of the forces and factors that made them exceptional, and of the choices and commitments that made them leaders in their communities. What a Woman Ought to Be and to Do brings to life a world in which African-American families, communities, and schools worked to encourage the self-confidence, individual initiative, and social responsibility of girls. Shaw shows us how, in a society that denied black women full professional status, these girls embraced and in turn defined an ideal of "socially responsible individualism" that balanced private and public sphere responsibilities. A collective portrait of character shaped in the toughest circumstances, this book is more than a study of the socialization of these women as children and the organization of their work as adults. It is also a study of leadership—of how African American communities gave their daughters the power to succeed in and change a hostile world.
