Description: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.
