Gender struggles : wage-earning women and male-dominated unions in postwar Japan
Christopher Gerteis.
By showing how unions raised the wages of male workers in part by transforming working-class women into middle-class housewives, the author demonstrates that organized labour's discourse on womanhood prevented unions from linking with the emerging woman-led, neighbourhood centred organizations that typified social movements.
