Historians of womens labor in the United States at first largely disregarded the story of female. service workers—women earning wages in occupations such as salesclerk. domestie servant ,and office secretary. These historians focused instead on factory work ,primarily becouse it seemed so different from traditional. unpaid "women&39;s work". in the home.and because the underlying economie forces of industrialism were presumed to be gender blind and hence emancipatory(解放的) in efect. Unfortunately. emancipation has been less profound than expected,for not even industrial wage labor has escaped continued sex segregation(隔离) in the workplace. To explain this unfinished tevolution in the status of women. Historiens have recently begun to emphasize the way a prevailing definition of femininity often determines the kinds of work allocated to women.even when such allocation is inappropriate to new conditions.For instance.early textile-mill entrepreneurs,in justilying women&39;s employment in wage labor. made much of the assumption that women were by nature skillful at detailed tasks and patient in carrying out repetitive chores; the mill owners thus imported into the new industrial order hoary stereotypes associated with the homemaking activities they presumed to have been the purview of women. Because women accepted the more unattractive new industrial tasks more readily than did men. such jobs came to be regarded as female jobs.And employers. who assumed that women&39;s "real" aspirations were for marriage and family life.declined to pay women. wages commensurate with those of imen. Thus many lower-skilled , lower-paid.less secute jobs came to be perceived as "female".
