- Description
- Drawn from almost two decades of the Feminist Formations journal, the essays in this book examine assumptions about access and the ways in which women affect and are affected by work in three major spheres: economic, social, and political. This book focuses on how access-based feminism has both failed and succeeded in achieving equity and justice for women and looks at how transnational feminism has addressed these concerns using a global, fundamentally transformative approach. The contributors consider a wide range of topics, from an examination of the male/female wage gap that starts when girls are teenagers, to policewomen in Persian Gulf countries, to Latinas' politics, to Aboriginal health care workers, to secretarial work, and to feminist activism in Cuban hip hop. They demonstrate the roles that race and ethnicity, class, sexuality corporate practices, government policies and economic systems play in women's experiences of work.
