Many new occupations were created but all were sex-typed from the start, assembly lines for consumer goods being strictly feminine. The pattern of gender segregation that emerged had important effects for the relation between men and women as workers, and between women and capital. The inter-war period also saw the creation of the ideal home and the ideal housewife and laid the basis for a transformation in the domestic economy. Women Assemble explores the connections between women's work in the home and paid employment. Ready-made food, off-the-peg clothing, domestic electrical appliances, and many of the other new goods produced by women in the workplace were also consumed by women in the home. Changes in domestic labour with the expansion of domestic technology, and the shift from domestic service towards factory work, contributed to the development of a new sexual division of labour.  Women Assemble highlights an important and often overlooked area of women's employment and its historical findings are used to address contemporary questions in the study of class, gender and the labour process.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49517761626385,"sku":"GOR005105015","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415031974.jpg?v=1751260646"},{"product_id":"structuralist-analysis-in-contemporary-social-thought-book-miriam-glucksmann-9780710077738","title":"Structuralist Analysis in Contemporary Social Thought","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49628785541393,"sku":"GOR005487704","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50360696963345,"sku":"CIN0710077734A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0710077734.jpg?v=1751360050"},{"product_id":"cottons-and-casuals-the-gendered-organisation-of-labour-in-time-and-space-book-miriam-glucksmann-9781903457009","title":"Cottons and Casuals: The Gendered Organisation of Labour in Time and Space","description":"\u003cp\u003eCottons and Casuals explores the connections between women's work in different spheres since the 1930s: paid employment, at home, and in the community.

What was the long-term significance of this for the pattern of women’s work, both in paid employment and in the home?  Originally published in 1990, Women Assemble fills a major gap in the history of women and work, and develops a theory of women’s class relations, and of course gender and class more generally, by means of an original case-study. Taken from a wide variety of sources, it uses a multidisciplinary approach and is brought to life by interviews with people who worked in assembly-line industries during the inter-war period.  This extremely readable study is important to feminists, historians, and sociologists, as well as to all those concerned with issues of gender, class, and the labour process.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51088368763153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51088371679505,"sku":"NIN9781032285481","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52588561694993,"sku":"NLS9781032285481","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032285486.jpg?v=1751205419"},{"product_id":"structuralist-analysis-in-contemporary-social-thought-rle-social-theory-book-miriam-glucksmann-9781138983083","title":"Structuralist Analysis in Contemporary Social Thought (RLE Social Theory)","description":"The primary concern of this book is to investigate whether or not structuralism constitutes a distinctive framework in the social sciences. The author focuses on two major structuralist thinkers, Louis Althusser and Claude Levi-Strauss. She analyses and compares the structure of their theory, and places them within the context of their respective disciplines. Dr Glucksmann began working on this book at a time when structuralism was at the height of its popularity in France, and was thought to be a homogenous alternative to bourgeois sociology. The progress of her study implicitly reflects the developments and divergences within structuralist thought that have emerged since then. In particular, she examines the differences between the political and philosophical thought of Althusser and Levi-Strauss, which have become increasingly manifest.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51242178380049,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51242179920145,"sku":"NIN9781138983083","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616333000977,"sku":"NLS9781138983083","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/113898308X.jpg?v=1751334559"},{"product_id":"women-assemble-book-miriam-glucksmann-9781032285436","title":"Women Assemble","description":"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.
