Work, Women and the Labour Market

Herausgeber: West, Jackie

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1982, this title presents a coherent overall picture of women's employment in contemporary British capitalism. For the first time it brings together concrete studies which show how women's unequal position at work is shaped by the capital-labour relation and by women's place as housewives and mothers.
