Abstract
Women's participation in the industrial labor force seems to have followed a universal pattern across nations and across historical periods.

As industrialization progresses and more advanced technologies are introduced, women are replaced by men as the preferred industrial workers (Baker, 1964; Boserup, 1970; Safa, 1977; Scott and Tilly, 1975).
