What was "Good Work" for women in the thirties?

Here's a little historical find. This film was made prior to 1931 by the Women's bureau of the department of labor in the US. It was around the time of scientific management processes and it was believed if people were appropriately assessed that they could be placed in positions better to their liking.

This film was shown to young girls in high school to encourage them to enter the workforce, that is until they got married. So 80 years ago this was progress, yes, yes we have made terrific progress but every so often I pause with sadness for the women of that generation and generations before that - they were talented and skilled but not given the support we get today.

However the take home line from the film is still appropriate today. "Waste is prevented when women like their jobs and do good work."
