Roaming around computer-land
It is not surprising that computer workers have such naive beliefs in technology as a force for progress. In manufacturing, banking and retailing, the introduction of computerised technology is having a devastating effect on the workforce. Of the 70,000 or more computer workers in Australia, most are employed by the computer companies or by user organisations. Marxist accounts of computing, as with other labour processes, have focused almost excl…
Kentucky-fried money
In February 1982 a personnel manager in one of Australia’s most conservative banks organised a ‘women at work’ get-together of eight ‘career’ women, to which we were invited. It’s a hanking image problem-the males think, well there’s not going to be enough careers, so why bother, there’s no incentive ... if people still think of a male as a breadwinner. The finance sector expanded rapidly in the postwar boom years. Women moved into the banks duri…
Masculinity and machines
In the new international division of production there is little room for an independent viable manufacturing base in Australia. In 1946 only 13 per cent of Australian homes had a refrigerator and a mere two per cent had a washing machine. The concept of skill was traditionally bound up with craft mastery. An overall knowledge of products and processes was combined with the manual dexterity required to actually carry on a specific branch of produc…
Sex and power in hospitals
The primary division of labour in health represents a sexual division in its most blatant form, namely that between male medicine and female nursing. Our focus in this chapter is on nursing work within hospitals though this is not where all nurses work. The irony in all of this is that nursing requiries and encourages mothering qualities, and yet conditions and hours of work make it almost impossible to be a mother as well. Hospital administratio…
Working at a discount
Women moved into retailing, as in banking, in the 1950s: by 1974 they constituted 80 per cent of union membership. Retailing in its modern form emerged with the rise to prominence of the department stores in the 1880s. Employers were always keen to take on more women: the first half of this century saw a running battle between employers wanting to extend the number of departments in which women could work and male-dominated unions trying to prese…
The labour process of consumption
In this chapter, the authors contest claims based on some fundamental misconceptions. Technological change in the area has indeed been dramatic but it has not reduced housework. It is not only that the sexes have different primary spheres. Nineteenth century had already seen a big increase in domestic servants, and particularly female domestic servants, to meet the consumption capacities of the new ‘middle class’. It might be thought that with th…
Gender at Work
Three themes are drawn together in this book: gender and sexuality, the organisation of work, and the impact of technological change. Their inter-relationship is explored in six area studies: manufacturing, banking, retailing, computing, nursing and housework.Gender at Work presents an account of how each area has changed since the Second World War; sets out ways in which the notion of what constitutes 'proper' work for men and women changes with…

The number of adoptions taking place in Australia has dwindled to barely 500 a year (half of them international) and there have been calls to abolish it entirely as a policy option. In a sense this
Sex and Medicine
Sex and Medicine
Professional medicine has often been seen as a field that discriminates against women as doctors and patients. Yet women are entering medicine in increasing numbers. This book explores the position of women in the medical profession in Australia and the UK, asking the key question ‘Do women doctors make a difference?’ Based on an extensive survey of general practitioners and specialists, the book evokes the culture of contemporary medicine by des…

Building Strategies
The building industry, as one of the last male bastions, has seen a significant degree of resistance to concepts such as ‘gender equity’ and ‘affirmative action’ and resentment at what is seen as the ‘big brother’ approach of the government's ‘social justice’ agenda. There is a widespread misinterpretation of ‘equal opportunity’, with men either taking the stand that women are not equal physically or that if they want equal opportunity they must …

Nursing a grievance
The literature on doctor‐nurse relations still mostly presumes that the doctor is male and the nurse female. While there has been some interest in male nurses, especially gay ones, very little has been said about the relationship between nurses and women doctors. This paper draws on life history interviews with women doctors, and focus groups of nurses to explore the relationship. Nurses of both sexes were more positive about women doctors than v…

This Sin and Scandal
'This Sin and Scandal' is a study of the agitated response of some sections of the public to the sharp fall in the birth rate around 1900. Women began to take an initiative in contraception and the size of families decreased dramatically from seven children or more in 1891 to an average of four for women who began childbearing in 1911. After 1890 the birth rate fell by 50 per cent and never recovered and net immigration dried to a trickle. This f…
