As paid work becomes increasingly central in womens lives, the history of their labor struggles assumes more and more importance. This volume represents the best of the new feminist scholarship in twentieth-century U.S. womens labor history. Fourteen original essays illuminate the complex relationship between gender, consciousness and working-class activism, and deepen historical understanding of the contradictory legacy of trade unionism for women workers. The contributors take up a wide range of specific subjects, and write from diverse theoretical perspectives. Some of the essays are case studies of womens participation in individual unions, organizing efforts, or strikes; others examine broader themes in womens labor history, focusing on a specific time period; and still others explore the situation of particular categories of women workers over a longer time span.
This collection extends the scope of current research and interpretation in womens labor history, both conceptually and in terms of periodization emphasis is placed on the post-World War I period where the literature is sparse. This book will be valuable for scholars, students and general readers alike.
