Contrary to their masculine portrayal, mines have always employed
women in valuable and productive roles. Yet, pit life continues to
be represented as a masculine world of work, legitimizing men as
the only mineworkers and large, mechanized, and capitalized
operations as the only form of mining. Bringing together a range of
case studies of women miners from past and present in Asia, the
Pacific region, Latin America and Africa, this book makes visible
the roles and contributions of women as miners. It also highlights
the importance of engendering small and informal mining in the
developing world as compared to the early European and American
mines. The book shows that women are engaged in various kinds of
mining and illustrates how gender and inequality are constructed
and sustained in the mines, and also how ethnic identities
intersect with those gendered identities.
