Alors que depuis la fin des années 1990, le monde ouvrier revient sur le devant de la scène avec des luttes de plus en plus dures (occupations, séquestrations, grèves de la faim, menaces de faire « sauter l'usine », etc.), le rôle joué par les femmes a été passé sous silence. À la différence des hommes, elles ont souvent effectué leur carrière entière dans la même usine et subissent de plein fouet l'épreuve des restructurations ou de la liquidation pure et simple. Qui sont ces femmes décidées à « en découdre » ? Ayant commencé à travailler après 1968, elles n'ont plus grand-chose de commun avec leurs mères : elles ne sont ni fatalistes ni résignées. Grâce à leurs combats, de nouvelles lois ont révolutionné le travail et, plus largement, la société. Elles ont obtenu d'être reconnues comme des salariées à part entière, et non pas comme des subalternes devant se contenter d'un salaire d'appoint. Elles ont mis en cause le pouvoir des petits chefs disposant d'un quasi-droit de cuissage. Elles ont donné sa dignité au travail en usine jusqu'alors considéré comme dégradant pour une femme. Elles ont changé le fonctionnement syndical en refusant de tout déléguer aux hommes. Les syndicats ont été obligés de prendre en charge des questions comme la contraception, l'avortement ou le partage des tâches familiales. Fanny Gallot s'est appuyée, entre autres, sur les témoignages précis des femmes engagées dans cette lente et profonde révolution. Elle raconte leurs histoires surprenantes et émouvantes, comme celles des ouvrières de Chantelle et Moulinex dont les luttes ont marqué l'actualité.

"This book examines the institutions of the labour market of this critical industry in this important period for Japanese economic development. Bringing together economic, business, social and gender perspectives, the author shows how workers, families, employers and the state responded to the problems of developing factory production in a predominately agrarian economy, and argues that textile employers' labour management strategies helped to confirm the rigid gender-segmentation of the labour market in twentieth-century Japan. The findings will be of interest to a wide range of economic, social and gender historians."--BOOK JACKET.

Clothing and accessories from nineteenth-century China reveal much about women's participation in the commercialization of textile handicrafts and the flourishing of urban popular culture. Focusing on women's work and fashion, A Fashionable Century presents an array of visually compelling clothing and accessories neglected by traditional histories of Chinese dress, examining these products' potential to illuminate issues of gender and identity. In the late Qing, the expansion of production systems and market economies transformed the Chinese fashion system, widening access to fashionable techniques, materials, and imagery. Challenging the conventional production model, in which women embroidered items at home, Silberstein sets fashion within a process of commercialization that created networks of urban guilds, commercial workshops, and subcontracted female workers. These networks gave rise to new trends influenced by performance and prints, and they offered women opportunities to participate in fashion and contribute to local economies and cultures. Rachel Silberstein draws on vernacular and commercial sources, rather than on the official and imperial texts prevalent in Chinese dress history, to demonstrate that in these fascinating objects-regulated by market desires, rather than imperial edict-fashion formed at the intersection of commerce and culture.

"Clothing and accessories from nineteenth-century China reveal much about women's participation-as both consumers and producers-in the commercialization of textile handicrafts and the flourishing of urban popular culture in the late Qing dynasty (1644-1911). The potential of clothing and textiles to illuminate issues of gender and identity is examined in this interdisciplinary foray into cultural history and material culture, which draws on vernacular and commercial sources to explain these objects, rather than on the official and imperial texts that have prevailed in studies of Chinese dress history. As production systems and market economies created the modern phenomenon of fashion, commercialized handicrafts transformed the early modern Chinese fashion system. Challenging the conventional production model, in which isolated Chinese women embroidered items by themselves, Rachel Silberstein positions objects of fashionable dress within mid-Qing networks of urban guilds, operated commercial workshops, and subcontracted female workers. These networks gave Chinese women opportunities to participate in fashion in new, connected, and contemporary ways. The formation of a commercialized dress and handicraft industry was thus stimulated by female-oriented domestic fashionable consumption as well as by foreign markets"--
