    The Little Tradeswomen Coloring Book Labor Arts
    Celebrate Labor History Month with a Crayon:
    First in a Labor Arts series for children

    Women worked in non-traditional trades when this coloring book was published in the mid 1980s, but their numbers were small. Training programs, lobbying, advocacy and outreach by women's organizations have helped reduce barriers to women's employment in construction trades, though most still meet the Department of Labor's definition of 'non-traditional': a job in which fewer than 25% of the workforce is female.
