Working for Women?

Gendered Work and Welfare Policies in Twentieth-Century Britain

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1997 Working for Women? examines the ways in which women's patterns of paid and unpaid work have been mediated by the policies of governments throughout the 20th century. It looks at the state in defining what is women's work and men's work, and at equal pay and opportunities policies. This book will appeal to academics of sociology, gender and women's studies.
