Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The increased employment of women in industrial occupations was one of the most striking economic effects of the war. The drawing-off of thousands of men to militarylife required the labor of a force at least three or four times as large to maintain them with the necessary equipment. In England, this resulted in an increase of about five hundred thousand women in manufacturing establishments in 1917 over 1914. In the United States, we do not know at the present time the exact extent of the industrial change, but there was abundant evidence of an occupational readjustment similar to that which England experienced, and if the war had continued for another year we would undoubtedly have seen a larger increase in the number of industrial women and wage-earners. The war, however, has merely thrown into sharp relief one of the changes that has been going on in the employment of women in the last three decades.
