Femininity In Flight : A History Of Flight Attendants

  • Femininity In Flight : A History Of Flight Attendants

  • Attribution

    Kathleen M. Barry

  • Publication Details

    Book, Duke University Press, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    From the moment the first stewardesses took flight in 1930, flight attendants became glamorous icons of femininity. The actual work that flight attendants did?ensuring passenger safety, assuaging fears, serving food and drinks, all while conforming to airlines? Barry tells the history of flight attendants, tracing the evolution of their glamorized image as ideal women and their activism as trade unionists and feminists. Barry argues that largely because their glamour obscured their labor, flight attendants unionized in the late 1940s and 1950s to demand recognition and respect as workers and self-styled professionals.

    Russell O. Wright

State Of The Union : A Century Of American Labor

  • State Of The Union : A Century Of American Labor

  • Attribution

    Nelson Lichtenstein

  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2002

  • Description

    Beginning there, Lichtenstein takes us all the way to the organizing fever of contemporary Los Angeles, where the labor movement stands at the center of the effort to transform millions of new immigrants into alert citizen unionists. The labor movement was therefore tragically unprepared for the years of Reagan and Clinton: although technological change and a new era of global economics battered the unions, their real failure was one of ideas and political will.
