Women Workers and their Dependents: Women’s Bureau Bulletin, No. 239

As a woman factory worker tends to her job, family members dependent on her—three young children and an elderly grandmother—are sketched in the background. This is the cover for a labor report covering the year 1951 that was published by the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor. Mary  Elizabeth Pidgeon, chief of the Women's Bureau Economic Studies Section, wrote this 117-page report.
