Cabin attendants as a gendered profession: Disciplinized bodies and emotional labor

The study was carried out in order to determine the determinants of the aviation industry's effects of women cabin attendant's lives. The occupational workers identified with various beauty myths, attitudes towards restricted body politics, the emotional labor burden and sexist policies, and the effects of these policies on women's lives. The profession can be described as an invisible occupation. The literature that the representation of women is abundant but their own discourse almost never takes place. The study aimed at the acquisition of their own stories and discourses, the women who are currently working in airline companies in Turkey or who have been worked as a cabin attendant. The work focuses on women cabin crews and explores how their socially gendered subjectivities are established and negotiated in this limited context.
