This volume brings together documentation of women's struggles in the process of industrialization, within and outside traditional workers' organizations. With contributions from researchers and activists particularly in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the text gives a broad display of both the constraints, and the ingenuity and determination with which women workers strive to improve their situation. Through both theory and rich empirical detail, the volume demonstrates the integral links between the home, workplace, and the state and international arenas, and between activists and academe in response to technological and industrial restructuring.
