The Journal of Women's History is soliciting articles for a special issue on women's labors throughout the world, under diverse economic and gender systems, and in all historical periods. We seek manuscripts on all forms of women's work, both paid and unpaid, including but not limited to family, household or domestic labor; carework and motherwork; non-traditional and female-dominated occupations, as well as on a broad range of topics, such as gender and informal economies; unionization, organizing, and forms of resistance; workplace cultures, self-perceptions, and social constructions; labor and the state; rights at work; and the relation of women's labors to both the family and polity. We are also interested in the difference that age, race, citizenship status, motherhood, sexuality, and related factors make in women's labors and discourses around them.
The issue, guest-edited by Eileen Boris, will appear in early 2004. The deadline
for submissions is 1 August 2002. Send four one-sided, double-spaced copies
of your manuscript (no more than 10,000 words, including endnotes) to:
