Abstract

This article rediscovers the identities of women workers within a socialist political regime and considers the activities of employers and labour unions with regard to these women. The study opts for in-depth gender knowledge derived from the positions of women workers and their social security needs. It examines how the social security needs have been understood, conceptualized, and articulated. And it argues for the creation of a wider space for the development and dissemination of gender knowledge.
