Abstract

The possibility that some five million women not now working must be recruited and placed in war industries and other essential jobs before the end of 1943, has turned the spotlight on the nation's available womanpower. To consider this problem a conference met in New York City, sponsored by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the National Board of the YWCA, and the National Women's Trade Union League. One of the principal speakers was Margaret A. Hickey, Chairman of the Women's Advisory Committee, War Manpower Commission. Following is the major portion of her speech. The article is part of the supplement to Chapter XV of “Vocational Guidance for Victory, the Counselor's Wartime Manual.”
