Alice Kessler-Harris. Gendering Labor History. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2007. Pp. 392. Bibliography. Index. Notes. Cloth, $65.00; paper, $25.00.

Gendering Labor History is both the title of Alice Kessler-Harris's collection of essays and an apt description of her career-long project to integrate gender into American labor history. She consistently argues that gender ideology matters in configuring all paid or unpaid economic relationships, regardless of whether she is detailing how workers relate to each other, how workers relate to bosses, or how working citizens relate to the state. The seventeen chapters in this book are organized into four sections that show the progression of the author's work and demonstrate the importance of understanding the way gender affects economic activity: "Women and the Labor Movement," "Gender and Class," "Labor and Social Policy," and "New Directions."
