An encyclopedia article on women's work and women's place in industry, from primitive society to the early twentieth century. It covers women's role in early household crafts and textile production, colonial domestic spinning, weaving and knitting, and the shift to factory employment. It also gives U.S. and British statistics on women's occupations, the displacement of one sex by the other in cotton, clothing, printing, shoe and cigar trades, wages, and hours and minimum-wage legislation. A bibliography closes the article.
