The Census, Estimation Bias, and Female Labor-Force Participation Rates in 1880 Colorado.
Herr, Elizabeth
Historical Methods, v28 n4 p167-81 Fall 1995
Utilizes 19th-century census figures to reveal a more accurate and richer picture of womens' participation in the frontier work environment. Although the occupational classifications accurately reflected the rise of an industrial economy, they ignored womens' entrepreneurial rural efforts. Presents statistical data to rectify this situation. (MJP)
