10 Muller v. Oregon – Women’s Working Rights
1903 Oregon law limits number of hours women work to 10/day Supreme Court agrees that long hours hurt women and their families Backfires a bit when employers use this argument to pay women less

11 Muller v. Oregon "That woman's physical structure and the performance of maternal functions place her at a disadvantage in the struggle for subsistence is obvious. This is especially true when the burdens of motherhood are upon her. Even when they are not, by abundant testimony of the medical fraternity continuance for a long time on her feet at work, repeating this from day to day, tends to injurious effects upon the body, and as healthy mothers are essential to vigorous offspring, the physical well-being of woman becomes an object of public interest and care in order to preserve the strength and vigor of the race."  Quick-Write What does this quote suggest about women’s physical abilities? How could this have been politically or socially harmful to women?
