Working-Class Women Theorize Globalization

摘要

I analyze working-class women's intellectual understanding of the labor they perform and its connection to the global processes - economic, political and cultural - that surround them. Incorporating feminist and cultural theories of globalization, I examine working-class women's oral histories and letters as theoretical texts, and explicate the relationships between labor, culture, critical consumption, the physicality of work and the individual imagination constructed in their narratives.
