Summary	Today women -- hundreds of thousands of them -- are at work in war industries. Unafraid of the hard, tedious, and dangerous jobs, they are working in shipyards, in aircraft and instrument factories, in arsenals and steel mills. World War II, with its great influx of women into jobs previously marked 'men only', presents both management and labor with many new and puzzling problems. Employers may benefit by reading of the successful experiences of others in employing women, and the essential steps in successful induction and utilization of women in war industries, that are presented in this pamphlet.--iii.
