This book highlights the catalytic role of workers’ education in mobilizing political activism and women’s involvement in labour struggles and politics. Through a comprehensive study of the gendered aspects of workers’ education it explores the intellectual lives of women workers. Drawing on the letters and papers of Fannia Mary Cohn, a prominent figure in the US garment industry’s trade union movement, it discusses and further theorizes the importance of gender as an analytical category in the forceful interaction of labour, education and migration histories. The significance of the visual turn in feminist narrative analytics is considered and the book puts forward a compelling case for the contribution of writing working women in the intellectual and cultural life of the twentieth century.

Recenzijas

Tamboukous fascinating, thought-provoking book makes an invaluable contribution to the field of gender and feminist studies by identifying and documenting women workers neglected role in the history of the labour movement. Womens Workers Education, Life Narratives and Politics will be of special interest not only to scholars in feminist history and gender studies but also to those interested in labour studies and labour movements, the history of unions, social activism, the sociology of labour, and pedagogy. (Aggeliki Sifaki, Gender and Education, November 29, 2018)

Tamboukou underpins discussion and analysis with other sources that provide signposts to those who wish to know more about women workers lives, education and politics in an international setting. The books contribution to both gender and workers education is quite substantial. The book is an excellent and informative read. (Martyn Walker, History of Education, 2018)
