Gender at Work presents an account of how six fields of work have changed since WWII with regard to the inter-related themes of gender and sexuality, the organisation of work, and the impact of technological change.
Three themes are drawn together in this book: gender and sexuality, the organisation of work, and the impact of technological change. Their inter-relationship is explored in six area studies: 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 themselves: they reveal the centrality of gender to the way capitalism is organised.
