With the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Nathan, at age 60, allowed herself to write books recounting her life and career. With forwards presenting three sides of the industrial triangle: consumer, business, and women workers, by Mary Anderson of the Women's Bureau in the Department of Labor, Edward Filene, and the Hon. Newton D. Baker respectively, this book examines the progress made in industrial working conditions in the first-quarter of the twentieth century as well as the public effort and the consciousness and organization that brought about these changes.
