About This Book

The author provides a descriptive survey of women's industrial employment, tracing how industrial change reshaped occupations and working conditions and compiling statistical evidence on wages, hours, and life circumstances. The study examines the growth of female trade-union activity, wage-setting and anti-sweating efforts, and the impact of legislation and social agencies on labor problems. A specialist-contributed chapter concentrates on wages, and a separate section addresses immediate wartime effects, while the author emphasizes evidence over theory and acknowledges notable omissions and provisional conclusions.
