EXPLANATORY NOTE The subject of woman in industry has a great body of literature to which fresh material is constantly being added. The articles selected for reprinting in this Handbook are advisedly of a popular rather than a scientific or statistical nature. The space limitations are such that only a few phases of this important subject of research can be covered. For the latest authoritative and descriptive matter the report of the United States labor bureau on the Condition of woman and child wageearners in the United States should be consulted. This report is to be contained in nineteen volumes, only eight of which are now (August, 1911) in print. The bibliography is selected chiefly from recent publications and is sufficiently inclusive to cover the subject. It is arranged according to the following classification: General references. Special occupations. Special sections of the United States and other countries. Legislation. 241276 CONTENTS MacLean, A. M. Factory Legislation for Women in the United States. . . . . . . . . .
