{"product_id":"9781861347503","title":"Gender and the politics of time: Feminist theory and contemporary debates","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWomen's increased role in the labour market has combined with concerns about the damaging effects of long working hours to push time-related issues up the policy agenda in many Western nations. This wide-ranging and accessible book assesses policy alternatives in the light of feminist theory and factual evidence.The book introduces mainstream ideas on the nature and politicalsignificance of time and re-frames them from a feminist perspective to provide a critical overview of policies in Western welfare states. Themes covered include gender differences in time use and the impact of 'time poverty' on women's citizenship; the need to value time spent giving and receiving care; the social meanings of time and whether we can talk about 'women's time' and 'men's time'; and the role of the past in framing policy options today.The book is essential reading for all those interested in genderinequality, time-use or work\/rest-of-life balance. It will be an invaluable resource for students and academics throughout the social sciences.","brand":"Policy Press at the Univ of Bristol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043488973040,"sku":"9781861347503","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781861347503_p0.jpg?v=1769895670","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781861347503","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
