Originally published in 1982, Work, Women and the Labour Market
presents through original articles a coherent overall picture of
women's employment in contemporary British capitalism. For the
first time it brings together concrete studies which show
graphically how women's unequal position at work is shaped by the
capital-labour relation and by women's place as housewives and
mothers. The book illuminates the differences and similarities in
women's and men's experience in the labour market and as members of
the working class. It is about how and why women come to be in jobs
typically regarded as semi or unskilled, about the causes of low
pay, and about women workers' consciousness as workers and as
women. It looks at the role of trade unions in relation to women
and to sexual divisions, and at how class and gender relations are
woven together in the production process. The nine closely
researched contributions examine the development of women's and
men's work in clothing and other manufacturing industries, clerical
work in local government, microelectronics in the office, the
position of Asian and West Indian women in the labour market,
women's role in the family and part-time work, and women's
involvement and influence in trade unions.
