Gender figured significantly in the industrial, social, and
political transformations of the United Kingdom and Ireland,
France, Germany, and Russia. This book explores its importance
during a period of radical change for the working classes, from
1800 through the 1930s. Collectively, the authors demonstrate how
the study of gender can lead to a new understanding of working
class history. The authors-leading historians, sociologists, and
feminist scholars ask how gender meanings and relations shaped and
were shaped by transformations in areas ranging from the Irish
linen industry to German social policy, from the French labor
movement to Britain's interracial settlements. With special
attention to the importance of language and culture in social life,
they show how political identities are constituted and social
categories created, contested, and changed-and how gender plays a
central role in this process. Contributors: Kathleen Canning,
