Description

This critical historical study examines women's labour during the Second World War, challenging the popular narrative of wartime emancipation. Rather than exploring a period of liberation, the book reveals how the state approached women's entry into paid work with considerable caution despite urgent demand for female workers in war production. Through detailed analysis, the author demonstrates how women's own preferences were frequently overlooked or misrepresented in attempts to balance industrial output with traditional patriarchal structures. The work explores how discriminatory practices persisted throughout the war effort, including systematic wage inequality and the categorisation of women as subordinate workers. Published by Routledge as part of their Library Editions: Women's History series, this book provides essential historical insight into gender relations, labour policy, and social dynamics during one of history's most transformative periods. Scholars, students, and anyone interested in women's history, social policy, or wartime society will find valuable analysis within these pages.
