Oral histories combined with more traditional sources give a fresh look at how gender operated in the workplace and in the home. No mere gap filler, this book represents a whole new line of inquiry.\"—Temma Kaplan, State University of New York, Stony Brook\u003cbr\u003e\"This work portrays the richly textured world of twentieth-century working women. They recall their memories of labor in male-dominated factories where they challenged pervading paternalistic attitudes. Their moving and intimate narratives are aptly contextualized by a group of historians deeply committed to creating a gendered view of a field previously dominated by men’s views and memories. A splendid collection.\"—Asunción Lavrin, Arizona State University","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406019764567,"sku":"9780822319962","price":25.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780822319962.jpg?v=1730494265","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-gendered-worlds-of-latin-american-women-workers-9780822319962","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
