Notes

1. A recent example, and a nice parallel to the Randall book, is Jane Howard's A Different Woman (New York: Avon, 1973), a series of interviews with U.S. women and a most depressing book.

2. D. José M. Gómez Colón, Memoria sobre la utilidad del trabajo de la muger pobre en la Isla de Cuba y medios para conseguirlo, Introducción de Felipe Poey (Habana: Imprenta de D. Manuel Soler y Gelada, 1857).

3. Ibid., p. 9. Italics his.

4. Ibid., p. 24.

5. Ibid., p. 39. The author went on to propose study and job training for women, and listed occupations that might be suitable: The sale of fruit, the manufacture of straw hats, the operation of commercial laundries. With some amplification, this Memoria might be seen as a blueprint for current activities.
