One Fourth World Women in China
The article notes that about 200 million women are Chinese and increasingly enter industry. In Shanghai seventy percent of cotton mill workers are women and children with long hours and low pay. Spinners work 12 hours and weavers about 13 hours daily with earnings as low as ten to twenty cents.
