As shown. See all photos. Found among my mother’s belongings. Own the OG copy! Sadly it is scribbled in with pencil. My grandfather’s in college?

“A discussion of the permanency of women as a wage-earning group, their racial, economic and cultural background, the nature of their tasks, and the official policy of the trade unions in regard to them as union members. The author analyzes the extent of their organization and their participation in union life — in strikes, at union meetings, as shop chairmen and organizers. An examination of the question of trade union organization and activities as against special protective legislation for women workers is also presented in this book.”
