The article deals with the very topical issue of the situation of professional women in the business environment. It has been only a century since females openly entered the male world of business and from the beginning they had to learn how to compete and fight for themselves in a male-dominated arena. Professional women have become more and more visible, especially in the last twenty years, with the number of them in high positions slowly increasing. The slow speed of this increase ultimately lead the to introduction of equal rights legislation for both sexes in the workplace. However, legislation on its own will not help women achieve equality. To be successful in their professional lives they need to benchmark with their successful male counterparts. One of the most common tools used by men is networking. It gives them priceless contacts, guarantees exchange of information and opens doors to prospective deals that would remain closed to 'outsiders'. If men can be successful, then why not women? They can, and that is why over the last 15-20 years we have been watching the growing number of female professional networks. They have been increasing across all professions and fields. On the other hand, let’s not forget that what suits many does not suit everybody and there are high profile women who do not identify themselves with networks. They do not feel a need to have membership of 'clubs' and one should respect it.

The paper examines the circumstances of three strikes of typographers (i.e. printers, typesetters and type founders) that took place at the beginning of the organised labour movement. Following strikes were studied: in Leipzig in the spring of 1865, in Prague in the summer of 1869, and in Vienna at the end of the winter of 1870. The first part of the study deals with the specifics of typographers who, as the elite and elitist labour aristocracy, stood in-between the social worlds of the forming group of factory workers and the middle-class intellectuals. The second part observes the strategies and agency of individual participants during these three strikes. The final part of the study is devoted to the specific features of women’s work in the book printing industry and to the sharp responses of striking workers to attempts by certain printwork owners to begin teaching women the art of typesetting.
