- Description
- The author examines the differences in politics, policy, and culture in leading Western democracies and offers an explanation as to why lesbian and gay citizens in Europe reap more benefits of equality. This analysis of the political economy of care calls attention to the ways in which care is negotiated by various investors (the state, families, individuals, and the faith-based voluntary sector) and the power dynamics of this negotiation. historically, Christian churches have been leading primary investors in care, providing a direct safety net for children and the elderly. Despite European secularization, the involvement of the Christian church elites in both the provision of service and the setting of the values frame for welfare cannot be underestimated. The historical involvement of Christian churches is unique in each country, but one common factor is the normative interpretation of “the family.” The role of Christian values—from left-leaning social justice, Reformed Protestant individualism, or social conservatism—in relation to the political economy of care gives a distinctive flavor to questions about under what circumstances policymakers are compelled, or not, to expand policies to include lesbian and gay citizens.

- Description
- Sheryl Sandberg (1969) is de COO (Chief Operational Officer) van Facebook, staat op de Fortune-lijst van ‘50 Machtigste Vrouwen’ en werd door Times uitgeroepen tot een van de invloedrijkste personen ter wereld. Ze hield een indrukwekkende TEDTalk over het feit dat we te weinig vrouwelijke leiders hebben. Deze toespraak werd meer dan twee miljoen keer bekeken en spoorde vrouwen aan om altijd uitdagingen te zoeken, risico’s te nemen en hun dromen na te jagen. In dit boek vertelt ze over haar eigen beslissingen, fouten en dagelijkse worsteling om de juiste keuzes te maken voor zichzelf, haar carrière en haar familie. Ze geeft praktische adviezen over onderhandelingstechnieken, het bouwen aan een bevredigende carrière, het aansporen van vrouwen om grenzen te stellen en de mythe los te laten van ‘alles doen’. Zij beschrijft ook hoe vrouwen zichzelf hinderen of benadelen, dikwijls uit onzekerheid of omdat zij zich niet durven of willen verzetten tegen de maatschappelijke conventies.

- Description
- Many women today are breadwinners: and these breadwinners are struggling. They are caught in a perfect storm of male-dominated culture at work, traditional social norms at home, and outdated schedules in the schools. This book takes a look at how women are balancing home life and career. The pressures of child rearing, coupled with an unfulfilling corporate culture, are too great to be ignored. O’Donnell goes beyond statistics and tells the stories of women all across America who are juggling careers, motherhood, marriage, and households. She looks at the choices women are making, the options they have, and the impact these decisions have on themselves, their families, and the businesses that employ them.
