"The Violence of Work is a unique collection of essays. Its thematic organizing principles and inclusion of recent and relevant events in both US and Canadian societies represent a strong contribution to the field."

Thomas Alter II, Department of History, Texas State University:

"In analysing the connections between gender, work, and violence and the everyday violence used and experienced by workers on the job, Jeremy Milloy and Joan Sangster have made a valuable contribution to the field. The scholarship is sound and contemporary, and this excellent collection adds an especially timely analysis to sexual harassment during the current #MeToo movement."
