My friend and colleague Carol Wolkowitz, who has died aged 77, is best known as a feminist sociologist whose highly influential book, Bodies at Work (2006), has been a key source for those interested in how gender and embodiment shape our working lives.
Most of Carol’s academic life was spent as a sociology lecturer at the University of Warwick, which she joined in 1986. There she continued an earlier research interest in homeworking and published, with Annie Phizacklea, Homeworking Women: Gender, Racism and Class at Work (1995).
