This is a study of working women in Scotland in the period
1850-1914. In a detailed scholarly analysis, based on a wide range
of contemporary sources, Eleanor Gordon uncovers the patterns of
their employment, their involvement in and relationship to trades
unionism, and the forms of their workplace resistance and
struggles. Focusing particularly on women working in Dundee's jute
industry, Dr Gordon's study integrates labour history and the
history of gender. It is a stimulating and thorough account, which
challenges many assumptions about the organizational apathy of
women workers and about the inevitable division between workplace
and domestic ideologies. It makes an important contribution to
current historiographical debates over the sexual division of
labour, working-class consciousness, and domestic ideologies, and
to the history of women in Scotland.
