摘要

This chapter explores the place of women in Remploy, in relation to the wider understanding of women’s experiences of welfare and employment during the period. In terms of the former, it considers the number of disabled women employed by the company and the factors which may have prevented them from joining, to determine if the relative exclusion of women from the provisions of the welfare state also extended to Remploy. It then considers the current understanding of women’s employment in the period, as one characterised by segregation, low pay, low status and limited advancement, exploring the experiences of disabled women in Remploy to determine the extent to which this was also reflected within sheltered employment.
