Feminist Labour History

Feminist labour history studies how women's work—both paid and unpaid—has shaped labor practices and social structures over time. It examines issues like gender inequality, workplace discrimination, and the undervaluing of women's contributions. By highlighting women's experiences and activism, this field reveals how gender has influenced employment opportunities, wages, and workers' rights. Ultimately, feminist labour history aims to promote a more equitable understanding of labor history, emphasizing the importance of gender justice in the development of job markets and labor movements.
