I came a across this article "Tunnels of Blood" is about the horrendous working conditions that men experienced when building the Snowy Mountains Scheme in Australia. bradcollis.net/snowy/bl…

Historically women were removed from the coal mines, they were granted a 8 hour working day in the factories act, when men worked 12 or more hours.

Janice has already covered how women were much less likely to be convicted of a crime or if they were they received much more lighter sentences than men.
