This volume by one of the fathers of social-documentary photography contains an outstanding collection of over 150 photographs of women in all sectors of labor and industry -- as telephone operators, garment workers, homemakers, rural workers, and more. Its stark images and powerful, dramatic expression constitute a superb historical document of working women from 1907 to 1938.
