Explore "Women in the Factory" by Adelaide Mary Anderson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This book aims at giving some account of an enterprise that is felt by the Women Officers who lived through it to have been a great experience and a great adventure in the service of the State and Nation-an account that must be somewhat less and yet more than a chronicle.
It is hoped, with the aid of outstanding facts and features recorded in many Blue-books and other documents issued during the time, to give a picture of the undertakings and experiences of these women, both at the outset and through the experimental development of their administration of Acts and regulations for women in industry, and to trace changes that have followed in conditions of factory life in a period of little over a quarter of a century.
