Abstract

Women’s Work in a Silk Waste Factory of Briançon
The silk waste factory of Briançon was founded in 1842. It quickly became a large company and was one of the first European groups to produce silk waste. As many other textile companies, it was strongly feminized. However, women’s decision to work inside the factory needs to be analyed in the context of their multiple activities. Their work or their departure from the factory has to be understood in the context of family strategies of monetary contribution, and this was especially the case for Italian female immigrants.
