High Tech and High Heels in the Global Economy: Women, Work, and Pink-Collar Identities in the Caribbean

Fabricating Women" examines the social institution of the seamstresses' guild in France from the time of Louis XIV to the Revolution.

Yet Crowston also reveals... "Winner of the 2002 Berkshire Prize, presented by the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians
