Factory work was and still is strongly connected with images of masculinity and the ideal worker being a man. The chapter starts out with historical studies of women’s work in the electronics industry, meatpacking, and the automotive industry. The findings from these studies point to theories of the gendered organization: the gender subtext in organizations and its ‘omnirelevance’, the institutional nature of gendered notions of skill and performance, as well as the diversity and persistence of masculinities. Images of masculinity, one of the main barriers to ‘undoing gender’ in modern industrial settings, are particularly dominant in male-dominated industrial companies – in construction, mining, oil and gas – which continue resisting acceptance of women workers and women engineers, although new technologies have reduced the physical strains of the work together with a shift of skills requirements. The chapter also discusses feminist research on the gender dynamics of globalization of production and household relations based on cases studies in East Asian countries. It concludes with design considerations for the modern industrial workplace.
