Using original research and focusing on occupational ill-health in
relation to women workers, this book presents a perspective for the
analysis of both gender and work and work and ill-health. The
author gives a critique of traditional theoretical accounts of
gender relations, state intervention and industrial ill-health. The
chapters examine the extent to which feminist activists got
involved in debates about health and industrial work, and show how
activists went beyond the concerns of suffrage.; The book presents
a historical period which was marked by a change in the role of the
state with respect to intervention in industrial conditions, and
analyses the coincidence of this with three other significant
developments: the growth of expertise in industrial disease; the
employment of women in the factory to take on responsibilities in
relation to other women; and changes in the direction of feminist
activism. In light of this analysis, the author suggests that some
theoretical approaches to both gender relations and health and
safety requirements require modification.
