Marginalized Women and Work in 20th- and 21st-Century British and American Literature and Media examines the intricate relationship between marginalized women and work through critical essays about representations of women’s work in non-canonical literary writings, mass media, and popular culture. Covering a broad range of texts including Paule Marshall’s fiction, Natasha Trethewey’s poetry, and the Netflix series Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker, among others, this collection takes an intersectional approach in order to shed light on the definition and meaning of marginalized women's work and the value of their labor in the capitalistic economic systems of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

This superb collection uniquely explores a range of genres and mediums to highlight the complexity of employment in the literary and visual representations of and by marginalized women. The provocative and wide-ranging essays explore novel, drama, poetry, visual art, television, and popular culture by examining issues related to labor conditions, intersectionality, stereotyping, exploitation, and invisibility, as well as the achievement and empowerment provided by work. Bringing attention to the ways literary and popular representations of women’s employment have been stereotyped and gendered, this collection challenges accepted notions and deepens our understanding of the role of work in identity formation and cultural connection for marginalized women.
