Impressive and panoramic best describe this slender text published by the International Labour Office. Comprised of case studies from around the globe, Women in Trade Unions is both a guide to organizing and an expose of the conditions under which women labour. Most importantly, it is also a wake-up call for westerners who continue to view trade unionism in the narrow confines of our industrial past. Union activists will find the book useful as an innovative how to guide to organizing; students of labour and women`s studies will be challenged by the intricate interplay of class, gender, and cultural issues. Labour Studies Journal, Winter 1997
