This article examines the attempts by the Dundee jute industry to recruit women workers in the years circa 1945-1954. It locates its discussion of these attempts in the literature on the impact of the Second World War on the participation of women in the British labour market more generally, and the forces determining that participation. It stresses the peculiarities of jute as a traditional major employer of women operating in very specific market conditions, but suggests that this case study throws light on the broader argument about the impact of war and early post-war conditions on women's participation in paid work.
本文考察了大约1945年至1954年间邓迪黄麻产业招募女工的种种尝试。文章将对这些尝试的讨论置于更广泛的关于第二次世界大战对英国劳动力市场中女性参与情况的影响以及决定这种参与的因素的文献之中。它强调了黄麻产业作为在非常特殊的市场条件下运营的传统女性主要雇主的独特之处，但同时表明，这个案例研究有助于阐明关于战争及战后初期状况对女性从事有偿工作的影响这一更广泛的论点。
