It covers a fifteen year period: 1935-1950. These years were chosen because they represent a time of dramatic changes both in the position of women within production and of the ideology and strength of the organized labour movement in the province. The material in this bibliography is located in the Lower Mainland area. There is additional primary material in the Public Archives of British Columbia, located in Victoria. Permission is needed to use trade union archives. [From the Introduction]
