The feminisation of work in the global economy remains animportant subject of debate, but what are the origins of processesof feminisation of work in developed economies? This bookinvestigates the relationship between the discourse of domesticityand the feminisation of clerical work in Britain in the 1870 to1914 period. Using historical sources it shows how clerical workbecame defined as work for women through the operation and use of adiscourse that created women as different from and inferior to,men. The book also shows the relationship between economicdevelopment, and in particular, the development of monopolycapitalism, the growth of clerical work, and the increasingimportance of women as a cheap supply of workers for the office.The feminisation of work in the global economy in the twenty-firstcentury indicates that women continue to be peripheralised,marginalised and exploited. Arguments used to define what is workfor women, the gendered discourse of work, remain remarkablypersistent through the passage of time.
