490 1  New historical perspectives 
500    "Precarious Professionals uncovers the inequalities and 
       insecurities which lay at the heart of professional life 
       in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain. 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.
