- Description
- The author explored the relations between the sexes in labour unions between 1887-1903. The study used 54 case studies of strikes in several locations, covering four industries (boot and shoe, clothing, textiles, and tobacco). The author investigated how unions in this time period constructed gender and how they used those constructions: the implications for interactions between male and female workers: and how this defined and limited women's participation in the labour movement.
