What is "working woman's disease"?

I heard this mentioned once (I think it was in reference to ovarian cancer, but I'm not sure) and haven't found much online. Presumably this has to do with disease risk for women who work long hours?

What is "working woman's disease"?
Endometriosis which is a common health problem in women. It gets its name from the word endometrium, the tissue that lines the uterus (womb). In women with this problem, tissue that looks and acts like the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus in other areas. These areas can be called growths, tumors, implants, lesions, or nodules.





Most endometriosis is found:





on or under the ovaries


behind the uterus


on the tissues that hold the uterus in place


on the bowels or bladder
