1943 Guide to Hiring Women
27Feb2008 Filed under: Ideas Author: CarlaI read this article the 1943 Guide to Hiring Women which was published in the Transportation Magazine in 1943. Some of the recommendations seem completely absurd in comparison to today’s workplace attitudes. It’s amazing how ideas have changed over the years. I just had to share this article.

Welcome to sugarpharm. I chose the name sugarpharm to reflect my childhood background growing up on a farm and because I now work as a pharmacist.
This is not a typical fashion, design or health blog. I like to think of it as the "Carla magazine"; a magazine that reflects my interests. This blog is a compilation of cool products that I have stumbled upon, ideas I find captivating, and information that I would like to share with others.
Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or if you would just like to say hello. (carla AT sugarpharm dot com)
Cheers,
Carla

Hee hee hee, I really enjoyed reading that article. Thanks for sharing it. I find it amusing how they are so discriminatory and consider females to be so mentally/psychologically fragile or else cranky and lazy. Oh, and we like to wash our hands a gazillion times a day or we’ll be very upset. It’s funny that they put that little detail in.
