Focusing on scholarship in US history, this article claims that under assault from feminists, the class paradigm in the study of labor and working-class history lost its primacy. This turn to gender developed as part of the linguistic turn and has led to an emphasis on bodies. I further argue that race and class themselves are both engendered identities and categories of analysis. Bodies create a realm upon which racialized gender as well as class is inscribed, constructed, made, and remade. I end with examples from my research on World War II on how rethinking breadwinner ideology, family wage, and related topics from the standpoint of black women and men destabilize normative notions of worker and provider.
