Industry Reviews

" If anybody thinks for a moment the women's movement is over, he or she should go right out and buy Live Wire." Gloria Steinem "This volume provides an in-depth view of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Electrical Contractors' Association... Moccio examines reasons for women's inclusion in skilled trade occupa-tions. Summing Up: Highly recommended." Choice "[This] detailed ethnography of New York's IBEW Local #3 helps us to understand why it was so difficult for women to succeed (in large numbers) in the brotherhoods... Moccio provides an in-depth analysis... [Her] training as an anthropologist enables her to provide a fine-tuned description of workplace culture in the electrical trades and how gender norms operate to disadvantage women within that culture." - New Labor Forum "The author's research methods are extensive and varied... [Moccio] has contributed to this important body of literature with her level of detail in presenting the case of Local 3, with data that does more than delve into the experiences of women in the building trade as previous research has done... Live Wire contributes to research on women in non-traditional occupations and on diversity within unions, and it would be useful to those conducting research in these areas because of its rich ethnographic data and extensive reference section."
