More women were becoming #librarians in the late 19th century. But it was feared that the stress might be too much for them - so much so that, in 1900, there was a proposal 'to build a seaside rest home for those who had broken down in library service'. https://t.co/SThnbx66oy

Ich wär dabei! :-) Der verlinkte Artikel in Daily Jstor bezieht sich auf folgende Publikation: Rosalee McReynolds: "The Sexual Politics of Illness in Turn of the Century Libraries". In: Libraries & Culture 25 (1990) 2, S. 194-217 (Stichwort Neurasthenie). Leider habe ich über die Uni Wien keinen Zugriff, ich muss jemanden aus Graz finden... Die Zeitschrift heißt mittlerweile übrigens "Information and Culture: A Journal of History" :-o
