| Summary | "The Canadian Girl at Work: A Book of Vocational Guidance" by Marjory MacMurchy is a vocational guidance publication written in the late 1910s. The book aims to assist young women in Ontario in finding suitable employment while imparting important knowledge about the right attitudes toward work and life. It covers various occupations and emphasizes the importance of being skilled in both paid work and home-making. The opening of the book outlines its main objectives, highlighting the significance of training for both paid work and domestic responsibilities. It discusses the historical context of women's work, tracing the evolution of female employment from domestic to industrial roles, and emphasizes the essentiality of home skills for well-being in the workforce.
