Examining women's diverse experiences of male-dominated work, this
ground-breaking book explores what sexuality and gender means to
women working in the construction and transport industries. Using
accounts from heterosexual women and lesbians working in
professional, manual and operational roles, Gender and Sexuality in
Male-Dominated Occupations adopts an intersectional approach to
examine advantage and disadvantage on the basis of gender,
sexuality and occupational class in these sectors. Drawing on
interviews and focus groups, the author examines why women choose
to enter male-dominated industries, their experiences of workplace
relations, their use of women's support networks and trade unions,
and the interface between home and work lives. Presenting
international and UK-based examples of effective interventions to
increase women's participation in male-dominated work, this
important book highlights the need for political will to tackle
women's underrepresentation, and suggests directions for the
future.
