| A generation ago women's place in the American labour force was almost invisible and very insignificant in the history books. stimualted by the emergence of modern feminism and the advent of a variety of "New Histories" in the 1960s and 1970s, academics have created an extensive literature on women's labour history. They have not only discussed which women worked, and where and why they worked, but have investigated how women have been treated in the workplace. many of their findings have revealed negative experiences, especially in the form of gender segregations and low püay. Recently historians have turned to more positive interpretations emphasizing female values and gender relationships. Yet even with these achievements the recognition of resegration within racial and ethnic minorities remindw women how far there is to go before equality is achieved. Historians have made considerabel progress in altering the structure and content of many strands of traditional labour history. Yet a considerable number of gaps within the field remain to be filled | |
