Sexual Divisions and Society: Process and Change
In defence of home and hearth? Families, friendships and feminism in mining communities[1]
This article examines some of the effects of the 1984–1985 coal dispute on the lives of women in four mining localities. It challenges some of the dominant stereotypes of mining communities and gender relations within them produced by social scientists, including some feminists, and by the media. Using the findings from interviews with women in 1986 it makes visible the ‘inactive’ majority and argues that the concepts of activism, politics and fe…

The Control of Women's Labour: The Case of Homeworking
What kinds of work obligations do homeworkers experience, and what social relations determine their character? Homeworking is dominated by contrasting, conflicting assumptions and interpretations. It was for long ignored or portrayed as an anachronism, peripheral to the economies of advanced industrial societies and of marginal importance as a source of livelihood (Bythell, 1978). In the mid-seventies research undertaken by the Low Pay Unit and o…

Sociology and Sociological Practice
I have found myself increasingly caught between two sets of pressures. Those which come largely but not wholly from outside the profession to give rapid answers to complex social questions and push towards administratively defined research strategies. And those arising from our work situations in which 'pure' sociology and textual scholasticism provide apparently secure retreats from such external pressures and in which we search for answers to q…
