The Dot Society Plans Dowry Home For Marrying Working Girls
A 19th century plea by ALBIA NOWLIN BROWN describes organizing the Dot Society to provide dowries and a shared home for twenty young working women in Northport Long Island. The project aims to ease marriage prospects by funding dowries through a common house staffed during summer and possibly year round, with wages from a cooperative restaurant and support from sponsors. The article argues wealthy French and American parents should help, citing examples from New York City and Boston collaborations as inspiration.
