''This collection s a real gem. It is a tribute both to Alice Kessler-Harris 's brilliance and to the strides made by gendered history.'' Ileen A. DeVault, professor of labor history, Cornell University ''Alice Kessler-Harris is one of the most influential historians of our time, and these essays remind us of why this is the case. Rather than arguing for the study of women 's labor history, she argues for the decisive importance of gender in the history of working people. But what makes Gendering Labor History more than just a collection of fine and often well-known essays is the constant expansion of her thinking - from the early writings on garment workers and their unions to the global perspective of the final essays. This book stands as creative work in its own right.'' David Montgomery, author of The Fall of the House of Labor: The Work-place, the State, and American Activism
