Women Workers' Education, Life Narratives and Politics

“Tamboukou’s fascinating, thought-provoking book makes an invaluable contribution to the field of gender and feminist studies by identifying and documenting women workers’ neglected role in the history of the labour movement. Women’s Workers’ Education, Life Narratives and Politics will be of special interest not only to scholars in feminist history and gender studies but also to those interested in labour studies and labour movements, the history of unions, social activism, the sociology of labour, and pedagogy.” (Aggeliki Sifaki, Gender and Education, November 29, 2018)

“Tamboukou underpins discussion and analysis with other sources that provide signposts to those who wish to know more about women workers’ lives, education and politics in an international setting. The book’s contribution to both gender and workers’ education is quite substantial. The book is an excellent and informative read.” (Martyn Walker, History of Education, 2018)
