Federation launching research on married women wage work
The Federation votes an appropriation for a fact finding and action program to oppose the campaign to force married women home.

A questionnaire will study the economic impact of prohibiting women from working and publicize findings through magazines and writers. The 1930 Census shows women occupy 535 classifications with all but heavy industries open to them.
