The Women's Bureau becomes the focus of [Sealander's] study because it alone even attempted to understand and document women's work experience and to push the federal government to develop policy that would help women workers. ... Sealander's brisk, readable account of the struggles of the Women's Bureau is both sympathetic and critical. She offers a nice overview of the period as well as of the bureaucratic infighting endemic to Washington, both of which do much to explain the Bureau's limited success. Both public and academic libraries, lower-division undergraduate and above.-Choice
