Routledge Cultural Production and the Politics of Women's Work

Explore the deep connections between women's workplace roles, modes of authorship, and the processes of subject-formation in this scholarly work. Published by Routledge as part of the Interdisciplinary Research in Gender series, this book examines the reasons why limiting gender roles and occupational hierarchies persisted during the first 60 years of the 20th century. This academic text investigates three central narratives: the rise of Fordism as a masculine mode of production and the shift toward feminized work, the impact of sexual revolutions on women's liberation, and the broader context of cultural production in American literature and film. It provides a detailed look at how gender and labor intersect within these historical and artistic frameworks. This book is an essential resource for researchers, students, and academics interested in the history of gender, labor studies, and American media criticism.
