The project explored the women’s experience of work within a very traditional male dominated occupational world. The primary aim was to secure an oral history record and to establish a resource for future researchers. In addition, the interviews contributed to contemporary historical reassessments, which aimed to accord a proper place to women’s work and roles. The data from the interviews illuminated aspects of the changing division of labour and organisation of work in shipbuilding, contributing to debates about the nature of skill and patterns of autonomy of industrial work. Although 45 interviews were conducted only 41 of these were transcribed.<br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Employment; gender; industrial workers; labour (work); labour supply; manual workers; shipbuilding; shipbuilding industry; women's employment; working conditions; world war. 1983 - 198401 January 198301 January 1984 England North East England IndividualsSubnational Women employed in shipbuilding in the North-East during the Second World War TextSemi-structured taped interviews and transcripts Cross-sectional (one-time) study Quota sample Face-to-face interviewAudio recording These data are available from the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive, London.
