As paid work becomes increasingly central in women's lives, the
history of their labor struggles assumes more and more importance.
This volume represents the best of the new feminist scholarship in
twentieth-century U.S. women's labor history. Fourteen original
essays illuminate the complex relationship between gender,
consciousness and working-class activism, and deepen historical
understanding of the contradictory legacy of trade unionism for
women workers. The contributors take up a wide range of specific
subjects, and write from diverse theoretical perspectives. Some of
the essays are case studies of women's participation in individual
unions, organizing efforts, or strikes; others examine broader
themes in women's labor history, focusing on a specific time
period; and still others explore the situation of particular
categories of women workers over a longer time span. This
collection extends the scope of current research and interpretation
in women's labor history, both conceptually and in terms of
periodization - emphasis is placed on the post-World War I period
where the literature is sparse. This book will be valuable for
scholars, students and general readers alike.
