Every society throughout history has defined what counts as work and what doesn't. And more often than not, those lines of demarcation are inextricable from considerations of gender. What Is Work? offers a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding labor within the highly gendered realm of household economies. Drawing from scholarship on gender history, economic sociology, family history, civil law, and feminist economics, these essays explore the changing and often contested boundaries between what was and is considered work in different Euro-American contexts over several centuries, with an eye to the ambiguities and biases that have shaped mainstream conceptions of work across all social sectors.

En mai 2016, un colloque international était l’occasion de célébrer, à l’École française de Rome, le XXVe anniversaire de la parution de l’Histoire des femmes en Occident et le XXe anniversaire de la publication de la Storia delle donne in Italia, deux entreprises collectives dont l’éditeur italien Laterza avait été à l’origine. Le livre collectif issu de cette rencontre revient sur la genèse de ces ouvrages pionniers, leur réception et la solidité des acquis historiographiques dont ils sont le fruit en donnant tout d’abord la parole à Michelle Perrot et à quelques-unes des éditrices d’alors ; il s’efforce ensuite de rendre compte de l’extraordinaire évolution d’un champ d’études qui s’est enrichi en suivant les parcours déjà balisés par ces œuvres majeures, mais également en empruntant des directions plus inattendues. Plus de vingt éminent-e-s spécialistes font ainsi le point sur les thématiques les plus significatives qui, de nos jours, sont au cœur des questionnements de l’histoire des femmes et du genre, inscrite désormais dans une dimension globale : circulations, migrations et métissages, lois et droits, identités personnelles, familles et masculinités, économies et cultures matérielles.
