Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Trade Unionism Among Women in Boston That the working woman has an industrial problem of her own quite apart from that which the workingman has to face, is well recognized, and indeed it is a commonplace to say that women, more frequently than men, work for low wages, long hours and under unsanitary conditions. Without discussing this problem in a large way, it has seemed worth while to raise the question, how far is trade unionism a means of solving the problem or any part of it? How much has been accomplished in the past? How much of promise does it hold for the future? In attempting an answer, it seemed best to present an accurate account, so far as it could be obtained, of trade unionism as it exists and as it has existed among the women of this city. The facts have been stated impartially if sympathetically in the belief that nothing can be more illuminating than such a statement and in order that these facts may be judged - if need be - from varied points of view. A preliminary word of comment is, perhaps, necessary to point out how far the trade union question for women is different from the same question for men, and why the movement for women, has been so belated. There is one "primary explanation" for the fact that women are underpaid, over-worked, and victims of unsanitary conditions. They are, for the most part, untrained workers, and because of this and of certain custom-imposed limitations regarding what is called "women's work," there is a great over-supply of labor in the occupations which are open to them. Trade unionism among women, therefore, presents itself as one phase of the problem of the organization of unskilled labor, and it must in all fairness then be asked: Is trade unionism the best method of helping women who are unskilled and for whom the field of employment is limited?

Book excerpt: Sarah Boston recounts the story of women workers from the early nineteenth century to the present day: the struggles and strikes, successes and failures in their strenuous efforts to organise and win recognition from employers and male trade unionists. Women Workers and the Trade Unions - now republished with the addition of two new chapters covering the period from 1987 to 2010 - is the only comprehensive account of this neglected overlap of women's history and labour history. Sarah Boston argues that male trade unionists' exclusionary treatment of women workers contradicted not only the socialist aims of most trade unions but also the very logic of trade unionism itself. The account is essential reading for anyone concerned with the history of industrial relations, but also with the history of feminism and of women in the workplace. --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a timely contribution to the study of the impact of trade unionism on women in the work force and how women have exercised power within trade unions. This collection of essays contains brief yet comprehensive histories of women's trade union movements in many of the principal industrial nations of the world--Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Argentina, Italy, and the United States. The authors survey the impact of the cult of true womanhood on the growth of trade unionism. Each author analyzes the relationship between early women's trade unions and guilds, identifies the important leaders, and explains how ideologies affected the expansion of trade unions. Among other subjects treated are the movement's relationship to the feminist movement, the effects of economic depression and rationalization of industry, women's attitudes toward protective legislation and political action, and the effect of the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Finally, the authors assess the advances made as the result of equal-pay legislation and progress in the areas of training, promotion, safety, child-care, maternity leave, and reentry into the work force.
