“… a woman that has a career is looked at as self-sufficient and her own man; she may not need one in her life. She is seen as lacking femininity, household un-savvy, and not a wife material.” RelationshipsMarriageWifeSocietyWomen EmpowermentNonfictionWorking WomenBrideWife MaterialWomen Workers Book:Higher Heels, Bigger Dreams Source: Higher Heels, Bigger Dreams
“That night the Salt Fish Girl came back looking exhausted and dishevelled. A Malaysian girl who worked at her factory had been stricken with hysteria, had gone to the toilet and begun screaming and tearing at her hair. She had been working at the factory for nearly three years and was half blind and bored out of her wits with the tedious repetitiveness of the work. Her hysteria had provoked others, until half the women in the factory were screaming and howling and throwing themselves against the walls in sheer frustration with the dreariness of their toil and the damage it was exacting from their once young bodies and once bright faces.” Women Workers Book:Salt Fish Girl Source: Salt Fish Girl
