The report was written by R.D. Grainger, as part of his wokr at the Children's Employment Commission. His report outlined the dangers to young women--mostly between the ages of 14 and 16--from the conditions of millinery and dress-making work. Initiated a lot of public discussion about the relationship between women's reproductive and laboring capacities, and inspired the fiction of Charlotte Tonna, specifically The Wrongs of Woman.
