Producing Social Class Representations

Women's Work in a Rural Town

University of Fribourg, Switzerland Carrie.Yodanis{at}unifr.ch

Based on data from participant observation and in-depth interviews with women who live in a relatively homogeneous small, rural town, this article examines how women act to produce social class representations. By presenting symbols of socioeconomic positions, including behaviors, tastes, and values, during their work, the women in the town present themselves as working, middle, or upper class women. Through these representations, they secure a place within the town's subjective social class system.
