But male employers and trade unionists brought them face-to-face with their subordination as women within their own class, while experiences with middle-class women co-workers and police reminded them of their status as working class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoollacott sees the woman munitions worker as a powerful symbol of modernity who challenged the gender order through her patriotic work and challenged class differences through her increased spending power, mobility, and changing social behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Woollacott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520085027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520085022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.08w x 0.79d","brand":"Angela Woollacott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302065598719,"sku":"9780520085022","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c8082c3-f5ae-48f5-95cb-a3ccda8edaa0.jpg?v=1695159319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-her-their-lives-depend-angela-woollacott-9780520085022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
