Comment :

The research upon which this paper is based is being carried out largely by the author with the able assistance of a research associate whose knowledge of working conditions and staff interaction provides a continuing picture of the crises, successes and daily exchanges which make up day‐to‐day life. At the time of writing, about half the women employees of the factory had been interviewed. Other aspects of the research, such as the time‐allocation budgets of women workers and an analysis of women's grievances and union response with regard to maternity benefits, time off for breast‐feeding etc, are not treated in this paper. The paper was first presented to the Nigerian Association of Sociologists and Anthropologists National Conference on the Role of Labour in National Development, Jos, January 1984. Several of the EMCON women are members of Women in Nigeria,an organisation created to fight against gender and class oppression in Nigeria and to ameliorate the conditions of Nigerian women. The organisation is composed of women from all over Nigeria and from all levels of society. (Ed. WIN's manifesto was published in ROAPE27/28, 1983. A WIN Press Release is published in this issue).
