Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of women's work in the early 20th century, focusing on the city of Birmingham, England. The author takes the reader on a journey through the history of factory legislation, exploring how laws designed to protect children from exploitation eventually extended to women, sparking debate and controversy. The book examines the economic impact of this legislation, exploring whether it benefited or hindered women's employment opportunities and their wages.
