What is the place of women in global labour policies? Women's ILO:
Transnational Networks, Global Labour Standards, and Gender Equity,
1919 to Present gathers new research on a century of ILO engagement
with women's work. It asks: what was the role of women's networks
in shaping ILO policies and what were the gendered meanings of
international labour law in a world of uneven and unequal
development? Women's ILO explores issues like equal remuneration,
home-based labour, and social welfare internationally and in places
such as Argentina, Italy, and Ghana. It scrutinizes the impact of
both power relations and global feminisms on the making of global
labour policies in a world shaped by colonialism, the Cold War and
post-colonial inequality. It further charts the disparate
advancement of gender equity, highlighting the significant role of
women experts and activists in the process. Contributors are: Paula

Thebaud, Susan Zimmermann "This is a must-read volume for scholars
and students interested in women, labor and
international/transnational history." - Judy Tzu-Chun Wu,
University of California, Irvine, USA "This fascinating collection
of essays assesses the ILO's role in securing social justice for
women workers around the world and asks how that role might change
as the world of work is transformed in the next century." - Celia
Donert, University of Liverpool "This exciting collection provides
a long-overdue state of the art on gender politics and the ILO. It
will no doubt be the work of reference on the topic for years to
come." - Elisabeth Prugl, Graduate Institute of International and
Development Studies, Geneva
