Based on the thorough examination of French archival sources, this
book examines in detail two industries in which women formed the
majority of the workforce in France between 1890 and 1914. The
choice of the tobacco and hat industries is particularly relevant
in the sense that the tobacco industry, unlike the hat industry,
was a state monopoly in which women were in the majority and held
meaningful responsibilities in unions at a time when women were
generally in the minority and under-represented in the labour
movement. The main aim of this comparison is to assess and qualify
differences between both industries in terms of workforce and work
organisation, trade unions' attitudes to women and women's
membership and participation in order to get a better understanding
of the factors that could have had an impact on female workers'
attitude towards trade unions. By making women's presence more
visible, therefore more apprehensible, this book contributes to a
better understanding of the way in which women perceived
themselves, and were perceived, as workers, women, union members
and militants in French trade union history prior to 1914.
