Indirect Legislation

Satisfying

With regard to the facility of getting employment
the female sex are apt to be under
peculiar disadvantage. This is the case more
particularly with those who are of a rank
are of classes a rank which though not superior to
industry are somewhat above the condition of ordinary
labour. These find themselves in but too great
a degree bereft of employment by the superior
activity, liberty and perhaps dexterity of the
men. Employments which seem peculiarly
suited to the female sex and which can scarcely
be practised without indecorum by the male
are either shared in by the latter or engrossed.
We see men matin men-haberdashers, men-milliners, men
makers of women's shoes, men stay-makers,
and above all men-midwives. With regard
at to all these unless perhaps the last, I have sometimes thought that
it might be not be amiss if the injustice created
by nature custom though favoured perhaps by
nature, were do redressed by law, and the female
sex put into the exclusive profession of
these sources of subsistence. The purity of the sex
would be favoured in a double point of view: as as for
the want of suitable employment for women of some sort little
of education may fairly be reckoned among
the causes of prostitution.
