- Description
- Based on the examination of French archival sources, the author examines two industries in which women formed the majority of the workforce in France between 1890 and 1914, the tabacco and hat industries. The main aim of this comparison is to assess and qualify differences between both industries in terms of workforce and work organisation, trade unions' attitudes to women and women's membership and participation. This in order to get a better understanding of the factors that could have had an impact on female workers attitude towards trade unions.
