The Silent Trade Union Member

Anita Gulati and Sue Ledwith

Chapter 3 in Businesswoman, 1987, pp 47-75 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The map which constructs the world of work is one which has been drawn by men. Women’s labours have been ‘hidden from history’ either because their domestic labour is not labelled as real work or because, when in employment, their labour has been denigrated as ‘women’s work’. Only in time of war has women’s labour been openly or positively acknowledged, as it suited governments in time of national crisis.
