Working Class Rosies: Women Industrial Workers during World War II
利用福特汽车公司员工记录，描述二战期间女性产业工人的特征、入职前工作经历及战后离职模式，区分自愿与非自愿离职者，发现家庭主妇、非裔及年长女性更易被解雇，挑战了流行神话。
After joining the industrial workforce during World War II, women disappeared from industrial employment with postwar reconversion. This article uses data from Ford Motor Company employee records to describe female industrial workers, their work histories before Ford, and their exit patterns from Ford. We draw a more complete picture of these industrial workers and discuss the differences between those who chose to leave Ford and those who left involuntarily. Contrary to popular myth it was housewives, along with African-American and older women, those with the fewest outside opportunities, who were more likely to be laid-off.
