Note 80 — THE ECONOMIC RELATIONS OF THE HOUSEHOLD By MABEL ATKINSON, M.A. (Glasgow)

“There are unfortunately no reliable statistics as to the average wages earned by women workers, but, speaking from a large experience, I estimate that the average wage of the manual woman worker, taking into account slackness, sickness, &c., is certainly not more than 7s. 6d. all the year round.”—“Trade Unions,” by Mary Macarthur, in “Women in Industry from Seven Points of View,” p. 66.
