  Linking the personal and the political, this book depicts the making of the working class in Britain as a 'struggle for the breeches.' Focusing on Lancashire, Glasgow, and London, it contrasts the experience of artisans and textile workers, demonstrating how each created distinctively gendered communities and political strategies.
