'The man was the fella that went out to work': men, women and work in Cork, Ireland, 1945-1990.

- Abstract
This article examines the experiences of workers in post-war Ireland through a study of workers formerly employed in the Cork Harbour area. Arguing for the necessity of studying the experiences of both male and female workers, the article examines how gender affected the working lives and identities of the sample group through oral testimony and documentary evidence. The article proceeds to examine the ideological and cultural context of twentieth-century Ireland, its articulation by narrators and subsequent effects on decisions made in their working lives. The article confirms the need for further comparative research into male and female experiences of labour in twentieth-century Ireland.
