Answer:

In the 1908 Muller v. Oregon case, lawyers used a mass of sociological evidence to demonstrate that women were physically and mentally weaker than men, and that they needed special protection in the workplace. This evidence was used to justify the state of Oregon's decision to limit the number of hours women could work in certain industries.
