This last link is probably the most telling, since when women worked in the mines and forges, they dressed similarly to men for safety reasons. Unfortunately, this was rare, and so there are very few pictures of what they wore...which makes it tough to be accurate...In my mind, I can see them wearing cute tops with short-ish sleeves, but with pants, because skirts and long sleeves just got in the way too much.
I'd love input from an expert on women miners in New Mexico in the early '20s...anyone...Bueller?
