Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This is a study of working women in Scotland in the period 1850-1914. In a detailed scholarly analysis, based on a wide range of contemporary sources, Eleanor Gordon uncovers the patterns of their employment, their involvement in and relationship to trades unionism, and the forms of their workplace resistance and struggles. Focusing particularly on women working in Dundee's jute industry, Dr Gordon's study integrates labour history and the history of gender. It is a stimulating and thorough account, which challenges many assumptions about the organizational apathy of women workers and about the inevitable division between workplace and domestic ideologies. It makes an important contribution to current historiographical debates over the sexual division of labour, working-class consciousness, and domestic ideologies, and to the history of women in Scotland.
Eleanor Gordon's book is a significant work ... Gordon's overview of the trade union movement is in fact a preamble to a fascinating assessment of militancy among women workers. ... thoroughly researched, soundly argued, and full of theoretically informed insights ... this is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of women and labor protest. Indeed, it will take its place as one of the groundbreaking new studies that demonstrate the imperative for feminist theory to be intergrated into labor history.
