United tradeswomen: The nuts and bolts of women's grassroots activism in the New York City construction industry, 1979--1984. - 44 p.

Thesis (M.A.)--Sarah Lawrence College, 2001.

In the late 1970s, the vast majority of female hardhats found themselves to be the only women on worksites crawling with macho men. Pioneering women in nontraditional jobs boldly transgressed gendered boundaries of appropriate “women's work” and found that their presence interrupted and threatened the norms of “masculine” workplace culture. Feeling isolated and frustrated with inhospitable work situations, many women abandoned the trades for a less hostile environment. However, across the country, tradeswomen created support networks to help women survive in the trades and collectively resist obstacles to their continued employment. This thesis examines the history of United Tradeswomen, which, from 1979 to 1984, coordinated consciousness-raising meetings, educational workshops, and direct action initiatives in an effort to support women's sustained employment in the trades. I argue that United Tradeswomen is an example of how support networks, are a means by which female hardhats can learn to cope with job-related problems and survive in the construction industry.
