Women in Gainful Occupations: 1870 to 1920 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780313206795)

When this study was undertaken, women comprised some 20 percent of the American labor force. Yet only one previous effort had been made to determine the social characteristics and occupations of the female work force. In terms of its comprehensive detail, this pioneering statistical study has yet to be superseded, and it provides valuable materials for labor historians and women's studies scholars alike.
