Description

Women on the Line is a pioneering ethnographic classic that examines the world of work within a British motor components factory. Written by Miriam Glucksmann, a noted contributor to the study of gender, work, and employment, this book provides a rare look into industrial life. For the first time, the author's true identity is revealed alongside the specific details of the company, product, and factory settings. This work offers a unique account of the daily routines of repetitive labor through the eyes of an observing participant. It captures the lived experiences of migrant women from Ireland, the Caribbean, and the Indian subcontinent with the immediacy of a diary. Readers gain a deep understanding of the social dynamics at play, including a strike led by women from below. This text serves as an essential resource for those studying sociology, anthropology, and the history of labor and gender.
