The book challenges conventional categories in the history of work, exploring instead the everyday labour of maintaining a professional identity on the margins of the traditional professions. Situating new historical perspectives on gender at the forefront of their research, the contributors explore how professional cultures could not only define themselves against, but often flourished outside of, the confines of patriarchal codes and structures. Putting the lives of precarious professionals in dialogue with master narratives in modern British history, the chapters in this volume re-evaluate the relationship between professional identity and social change. The collection offers twelve fascinating studies of women and men who held positions in art and science, high culture and popular journalism, private enterprise and public service between the 1840s and the 1960s. From pioneering women lawyers and scientists to ballet dancers, secretaries, historians, humanitarian relief workers, social researchers, and Cold War diplomats, the book reveals that precarity was a thread woven throughout the very fabric of modern professional life, with far-reaching implications for the study of power, privilege, and expertise. Together, these essays enrich our understanding of the histories and mysteries of professional identity and help us to reimagine the future of work in precarious times." -- Digital Humanities Library page. 506 0 Open Access|fUnrestricted online access|2star|5PSt 588 Description based on print version record. 590 JSTOR|bBooks at JSTOR Open Access 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1999|2fast 650 0 Professional employees|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85107253|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781|xSocial conditions|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2001008858 650 0 Professional employees|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85107253|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781|xSocial conditions|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2001008860 650 0 Sex role in the work environment|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85120671|zGreat Britain|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 0 Sex role in the work environment|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85120671|zGreat Britain|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 0 Social change|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123918|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Social change|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123918|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 Professional employees.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1078481 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Sex role in the work environment.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1114655 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Social change.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1122310 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Egginton, Heidi,|eeditor. 700 1 Thomas, Zoë,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2018156241|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tPrecarious professionals|z9781912702596 |w(OCoLC)1263807852 830 0 New historical perspectives.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2021053036 856 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctvz0hcf9|zOnline ebook.
