Source 6: M. I. Pokzovskaya, Russian physician, excerpt from her article published in the magazine of an international woman suffrage
organization, London, 1914.
In the majority of the factories where women are employed the working day is from 10 to 11% hours...On Saturday, in many factories... the
work sometimes lasts 16 and 18 hours per day. The workers are forced to work overtime on pain of instant dismissal or of transference to inferior
employment, and in the case of children actual physical force is used to make them continue in their places.
It happens sometime, as on April 25th, 1913, at a cotton spinning factory in St. Petersburg, that the workers strike as a protest against the
dismissal of old workers and their replacement by girls between 14 and 16 years of age. The result of the strike was a wholesale dismissal of all
the women, whose places were filled by young girls.
The right to vote in political elections
In a large tobacco factory in St. Petersburg the women workers who were asking for raised pay were cynically informed that they could augment
their income by prostitution.
