The article focuses on the feminist reflection on working class history writing in Canada in the 1980s. It notes that studies in Canadian working class history increased due to the proliferation of research on working class women. The uneasy relationship between male workers and their union sisters is noticeable in studies examining women workers strikes and their roles within the union movement and working class political organizations. It points out that further research into the resistance of women working in secondary and tertiary sectors may challenge the existing class theory.
