Who Cares? Structure, Biography and Values in the History of Sociology
Viola Klein: Forgotten Émigré Intellectual, Public Sociologist and Advocate of Women
This article revisits the much neglected work of Viola Klein, one of the first sociologists of women in Britain. Her contribution to sociology lies both in her innovative work on patriarchal conceptions of seemingly scientific knowledge about women, undertaken under the tutelage of Karl Mannheim, and in her empirical studies of women's changing position in the labour market.
