Female students at the First Anniversary of Ling Fang Tailoring and Sewing School (玲芳高级剪裁学院周年庆典)

This photograph shows that there were specialised schools to help women acquire tailoring and sewing skills. These skills were much needed in an era where many women went to seamstresses to have their clothes custom made. To possess such skills meant that women could work from home and earn an income.
