"As the world evolves, so too does the growing role of
women who are proving their infinite capabilities in today's complex workplace,
and exhibiting a new usefulness now and for the future."

From a domestic worker to
factory employee to trade union leader, Swedish-born Mary Anderson was a
tireless champion of women in the workplace. Director of the Women's Bureau for
a quarter century, she was the most influential of all women in Federal
service. Her leadership in fact-finding and standards-setting established her
as the Nation's foremost authority in the struggle for women's rights and the
improvement of their lives and working conditions.
