Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Economic Effects of the War Upon Women and Children in Great Britain
The following work on the Economic Effects of the War upon Women and Children in Great Britain, by Mrs. Irene Osgood Andrews, Assistant Secretary of the Ameri can Association for Labor Legislation, is the fourth in the series of preliminary war studies undertaken by the Eu dowment. Mrs. Andrews' monograph is a sympathetic study of the situation by one who has long been familiar with working conditions of women and children in this country and abroad and the methods undertaken for their improvement. The author points out the difficulties and evil results of the hasty in?ux of women and children into industrial fields vacated by men who had gone into the army, but reaches the conclusion that on the whole the per manent effects are likely to be good. Such a conclusion by an author whose sympathies with laboring women and children are deep and whose outlook is broad is hopeful and cheering.
