Books by Miriam Glucksmann

First published in 1990,this title fills a gap in the history of women and work, it develops a theory of women¿s class relations, and gender and class generally, with an original case-study. Multidisciplinary in approach it is brought to life by interviews with those who worked in assembly-line industries during the inter-war period.

Consumers are not usually incorporated into the sociological concept of 'division of labour', but using the case of household recycling, this book shows why this foundational concept needs to be revised.

Cottons and Casuals explores the connections between women's work in different spheres since the 1930s: paid employment, at home, and in the community. Women's own testimony and an array of other source materials are used to develop new ways of looking at their changing patterns of living and working.
