Gender at Work
Three themes are drawn together in this gender and sexuality, the organisation of work, and the impact of technological change. Their inter-relationship is explored in six area manufacturing, banking, retailing, computing, nursing and housework.
Gender at Work presents an account of how each area has changed since the Second World War; sets out ways in which the notion of what constitutes 'proper' work for men and women changes with new work processes; and analyses the prospects for, and limits of, sexual 'equality' in the workplace.
Based on the first-hand observations of workers, reflecting on their work experience, this book allows workers to speak for they reveal the centrality of gender to the way capitalism is organised.
