Abstract

The observation that work is segregated by gender is neither new nor revolutionary. At the same time, it has lost neither validity nor relevance. Since the 1970s in particular, feminist and gender researchers have been addressing the issue of gender at work (Wetterer, 2002, 2009), pointing out that ‘gender is fundamental to the way work is organised; and work is central in the social construction of gender’ (Game and Pringle, 1983, p. 14).
