This essential student resource is the first of its kind to study
this period. Working chronologically from the early 1840s up to the
end of the twentieth century, it examines over 150 years of women's
employment history and the struggles they have faced.
With suggestions for research topics, an annotated bibliography to
aid further research and a chronology of important events which
places the subject in a broader historical context, Gerry Holloway
considers how factors such as class, age, marital status, race and
locality, along with wider economic and political issues, have
affected women's job opportunities and status.
Key themes and issues that run through the book include:
* continuity and change
* the sexual division of labor
* women as a cheap labor force
* women's perceived primary role of motherhood
* women and trade unions
* equality and difference
* education and training.
Students of women's studies, gender studies and history will find
this a fascinating and invaluable addition to their reading
material.
