    The politics of experience: women in the Western Australian clothing trade, 1950-1970
    OWEN, CHRISTINE ( 1983)
    This article is concerned with the nature of the experience of women working in the Western Australian clothing trade between 1950 and 1970. The period is significant in that the clothing trades workforce was affected during this time by the arrival of a migrant workforce and by economic downturn in an industry traditionally characterised by low profit margins. Both of these factors together with a male-dominated Union contributed to the workers' extreme expendability throughout this time.
