- 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.

- Description
- In July 1888, fourteen hundred women and girls employed by the Bryant and May match factory walked out of their factory in London. Returning to the stories of the women themselves, and by-interviewing-their relatives today, the author is able to construct a new history which challenges existing accounts of the strike itself and alters the accepted history of the labour movement in Britain. The author proves that the women themselves, not celebrity socialists like Annie Besant, began the strike. She provides evidence to show that the matchmaking women influenced the Dock Strike of 1889, which until now was thought to be the key event of new unionism, and repositions them as the mothers of the modern labour movement.
