Why have some working women succeeded at organizing in spite of
obstacles to labor activity? Under what circumstances were they
able to form alliances with male workers? Carole Turbin explores
these and other questions by examining the case of Troy, New York.
In the 1860s, Troy produced nearly all the nation's detachable
shirt collars and cuffs. The city's collar laundresses were largely
Irish immigrants. Their union was officially the nation's first
women's labor organization, and one of the best organized. Turbin
provides a new perspective on gender and shows that women's family
ties are not necessarily a conservative influence but may encourage
women's and men's collective action.
