Unbending Gender: Why Family and Work Conflict and What to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Williams, Joan, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, In Unbending Gender, Joan Williams takes a hard look at the state of feminism in America. Concerned by what she finds--young women who flatly refuse to identify themselves as feminists and working-class and minority women who feel the movement hasn't addressed the issues that dominate their daily lives--she outlines a new vision of feminism that calls for workplaces focused on the needs of families and, in divorce cases, recognition of the value of family work and its impact on women's earning power. Williams shows that workplaces are designed around men's bodies and life patterns in ways that discriminate against women, and that the work/family system that results is terrible for men, worse for women, and worst of all for children. She proposes a set of practical policies and legal initiatives to reorganize the two realms of work in employment and households--so that men and women can lead healthier and more productive personal and work lives. Williams introduces a new 'reconstructive' feminism that places class, race, and gender conflicts among women at center stage. Her solution is an inclusive, family-friendly feminism that supports both mothers and fathers as caregivers and as workers.

Gender,Work,and Family in a Chinese Economic Zone: Laboring

This book examines the dynamics of power within the families of married women who have migrated from rural areas to China's Dalian Economic Zone. Engaging the question of whether waged work gives women power in their families,this ethnographic study finds that women do indeed use their new positions and urban status to negotiate their family status. However,women use these new resources not necessarily to promote their own individual liberation,but rather to strengthen their contribution as wives and,e

The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to

The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now: Our 'thirty-is-the-new-twenty' culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are a second adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. Dr. Meg Jay, a clinical psychologist, argues that twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized what is actually the most defining decade of adulthood. Drawing from a decade of work with hundreds of twentysomething clients and students, THE DEFINING DECADE weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings themselves. The result is a provocative read that provides the tools necessary to make the most of your twenties, and shows us how work, relationships, personality, social networks, identity, and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood- if we use the time wisely. THE DEFINING DECADE is a smart, compassionate and constructive book about the years we cannot afford to miss.

Why Humans Like to Cry: Tragedy,Evolution,and the Brain

Human beings are the only species to have evolved the trait of emotional crying. We weep at tragedies in our lives and in those of others - remarkably even when they are fictional characters in film,opera,music,novels,and theatre. Why have we developed art forms - most powerfully,music - which move us to sadness and tears? This question forms the backdrop to Michael Trimble's discussion of emotional crying,its physiology,and its evolutionary implications. His exploration examines the connecti

Gravity: WHY WHAT GOES UP: MUST COME DOWN

Gravity: WHY WHAT GOES UP: MUST COME DOWN: Of the four forces that control the universe gravity may be the most obvious, but it is also the most mysterious. Newton managed to predict the force of gravity, but couldnt explain how it worked at a distance. Then Einstein recognised that gravity and acceleration are interchangeable to devise his mind-bending general relativity, showing how matter warps space and time. Not only did this explain how gravity worked but it predicted everything from black holes to gravitys effect on time. Whether its the reality of anti-gravity or the discovery that a ball and a laser beam drop at the same rate, gravity is the force that fascinates.
