Industrial equality between men and women can only be brought about by equal bargaining power to attain which there are two accepted methods: trade union agreements and law. In the former, men have hitherto been more widely successful, while women have gained more through law because of the feasibility of securring laws for women on the basis of their special laws for women on the basis of their special needs, when similar laws would be unattainable by men."
