Despite representing a rapidly increasing section of the workforce, why are women still overwhelmingly confined to unskilled jobs? Why do they hold such a tiny proportion of managerial and professional posts? In answering these vital questions Ross Davies shows how women's economic roles in pre-industrial society were modified and distorted by industrialisation; how this legacy of exploitation has affected contemporary attitudes among both men and women; and how the present situation should be seen and assessed in its proper perspective.WomenEmploymentGreat BritainWomenEmployment331.40941Davies Ross1942-,1210609MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910158570403321Women and work2793911UNINA
