    Young single factory women in 1927 : a study of issues of women and work
    Paisley, Fiona ( 1990)
    In 1927, a Department of Labour inquiry focussed upon a group of young female metalworkers employed in a Melbourne factory. A range of contemporaries, including the female workers, gave evidence to the inquiry, resulting in recommendations regarding female work conditions.
