Working women, working men

Description:

"Based on archival data on oral histories, work examines rise of Brazil's industrial working class by focusing on female and male textile and metallurgical workers in São Paulo. Analyzes interactions between workers, union leaders, industrialists, and State policymakers. Finds distinct and sometimes contradictory gender discourses of work, organization, protest, and politics"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
