摘要

摘要:英国邮政总局(GPO)是19世纪末至20世纪中期英国女性的主要雇主之一,最初是电报员,后来是电话交换员。然而,GPO内部正在就妇女的身体能力、适当的工作设施以及传统的性别空间和职业进行私下讨论。这些讨论将无线电报塑造成一个高度性别化、完全男性化的职业,直到第一次世界大战的紧急情况导致女性从1917年起担任皇家海军女子服务局(WRNS)国内无线运营商的机会有限。

"Uncertain at Present for Women, but May Increase": Opportunities for Women in Wireless Telegraphy during the First World War
ABSTRACT:The British General Post Office (GPO) was one of the leading employers of women in Britain between the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, first as telegraph operators and later in telephone exchanges. However, there were ongoing private discussions within the GPO as to the physical capabilities of women, as well as suitable working facilities and traditionally gendered spaces and occupations. These discussions shaped wireless telegraphy as a highly gendered and exclusively masculine profession until the exigencies of the First World War led to limited opportunities for women as domestic wireless operators for the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) from 1917 onward.
