• W341720838 abstract "The introduction to this collection of nine essays on women and work describes it as presenting interdisciplinary and international perspectives on women's lives, focusing on their work and diverse in which complexities of gender relations are worked (p. xi). Several of articles are excellent, especially those by Bradbury, Parr and Christopherson, but I found collection as a whole frustrating and problematic. I worry that superb pieces in book may get lost in a collection that lacks integration and does not live up to editors' claims. While it is true that authors come from different disciplines (history, sociology, geography, planning, education), essays do not deal with interdisciplinarity. Similarly, while there are essays based on research in Britain, USA and Canada, no international perspective is developed. Finally while significance of is stressed, collection does not advance an analysis of what means nor what it means to claim that place Seven case studies explore a range of issues from two centuries -- 19th and 20th -- and three countries -- Canada, Britain and USA. Topics include: impact of technological changes associated with industrial capitalism on women's domestic and paid work in 19th-century Montreal (Bradbury); changing practices of work and mothering as women migrated from agrarian Japanese to industrial Canadian society (Kobayashi); way women strikers in a small Ontario textile town in 1940s understood and acted on their issues differently than men with result that male-dominated union had difficulty understanding and supporting their efforts (Parr); gender inequality in Canadian paid workforce and women's efforts to challenge it (Gold); ways in which gender and race are central to definitions of skill such that immigrant women in contemporary textile industry in East London, England, are among lowest paid and insecure workers (Kaye); link between feminization of labour force and changing occupational divisions of employment, especially deskilling, reskilling and polarization, and how it varies within metropolitan space in contemporary Montreal (Rose and Villeneuve); and a comparison of women's employment in three non-metropolitan communities in Arizona, as part of household strategies in context of structural adjustment in US economy (Christopherson). Two review essays survey theoretical debates: one considers relationship among changes in women's domestic and paid labour, household practices, housing choices and gentrification (Bondi); other reviews development of theories of urban social change and argues for importance of feminist analyses of structural connections between gender and production relations as a corrective, using example of changes in women's work in Britain. The introductory essay by Audrey Kobayashi, Linda Peake, Hal Beneson and Katie Pickles, Introduction: Placing Women and Work, lays out an analytical flamework and identifies a series of theoretical issues related to women's work and gender relations that book is intended to address. Arguing that place matters (p. xxxv), they note that these studies show remarkable variety and contingency that characterize women's life and work in different places (p. xxxiv), and identify their objective as recognizing the ways in which abstract social processes, often international in scope, are always placed, lived, and given specific meaning by specific people in landscapes that are constructed in relation to world at large (p. xxxiv). Unfortunately, neither this essay, nor collection as a whole develops an argument about what it means to claim that matters. Other than a shared focus on women and work, there is little in collection to link different articles. The different time periods and various locations are sufficiently diverse that they do not complement or build on each other. …" @default.
