This volume explores the role of women as social actors who contribute to both continuity and change in society. It focuses on the interlinkages between women, industrial work and relations within the family and the local community. As a case is chosen the work undertaken by Malayan women in a foreign factory in Johor, and it explores how such work affects women's lives and livelihoods.
