Paris, along with New York, was one of the main centres of the
fashion industry in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But
although New York based garment workers were mobilized early in the
twentieth century, Paris was the stage of vibrant revolutions and
uprisings throughout the nineteenth century. As a consequence,
French women workers were radicalized much earlier, creating a
unique and unprecedented moment in both labour and feminist
history. Seamstresses were central figures in the socio-political
and cultural events of nineteenth and early twentieth century
France but their stories and political writings have remained
marginalized and obscured. Drawing on a wide range of published and
unpublished documents from the industrial revolution, 'Sewing,
Fighting and Writing' is a foucauldian genealogy of the Parisian
seamstress. Looking at the assemblage of radical practices in work,
politics and culture, it explores the constitution of the self of
the seamstress in the era of early industrialization and
revolutionary events and considers her contribution to the
socio-political and cultural formations in modernity.
