ABSTRACT
Throughout the period under consideration, the Typographical Association
adopted an uncompromising policy of non-recognition towards, and exclu-
sion of, female labour from the skilled printing trades.This policy was not,
however, entirely successful. As the 1911 census abstracts show, in the prov-
inces there were 699 skilled female workers in printing and a further 15,000
described as ‘others in printing’.1
