"Mining Women "presents eighteen new essays that illuminate how
gender identities and inequality have been constructed historically
and sustained in what could be hailed as the first truly global
enterprise and arguably the most "masculine" of industries--mining.
These essays explore gender relations and women's work and activism
in different parts of the world and from multiple perspectives.
They investigate not only gender's role in the domestic and
cultural aspects of mining communities, but also its impact on the
emerging industrial and capitalist system from the eighteenth
through the twentieth centuries. Each essay is important for
understanding the ways in which gender is imagined, lived,
inscribed, and contested in specific historical and material
contexts. As a whole, the volume reveals that despite the
tremendous variation between industries, cultures, and national
experiences, women have challenged the constraints of gender
definitions on their lives and work.
