This book, published in 1913, describes the results of the first investigation made by the Committee on Women's Work of the Russell Sage Foundation, part of a series of studies of the condition of women's work in important trades in New York City that demonstrate similar conditions throughout the United States. The bookbinding trade, one of the most important trades for women in the city at the time, is examined in detail. These findings were relevant to many other industries because it presented most of the important problems which confronted women wage-earners at the time.

Written as an appendix to the Fourth Report of the New York State Factory Investigating Commission in 1914, this report examines working wages for women in the millinery trade in an effort to determine what would constitute as fair and adequate rates of pay in such a diverse industry. It argues that such a trade requires the steadying of its seasons, thus lengthening the period of employment in order to make yearly income certain and adequate.

Published in 1963, this book offers a critique on the processes by which professional sociologists were being educated in the graduate schools of the United States at the time. It aims to promote higher and more uniform standards of basic scientific training for sociologists. It is not a balanced account of the development of sociology but an assessment of the performance of graduate schools and any discrepancies in training.
