 Women's
Work is Never Done: Comparative Studies in Care-Giving, Employment,
and Social Policy Reform addresses the crucial status
of women as welfare state clients, and as the main providers of paid
and unpaid care in West European and Anglo-American countries. In
comparing across a range of nations and among varied groups of women,
the authors address how changes in welfare policy have affected single
mothers, frail elderly women and members of racial and ethnic minorities.
Taken together, the chapters indicate welfare states in advanced industrial
systems were far less resilient through the 1990s than the conventional
literature on this subject would suggest.An edited collection of essays, the book opens with an introductory overview by Sylvia Bashevkin. The substantive chapters are written by Selma Sevenhuijsen (University of Utrecht, the Netherlands), Dionne Bensonsmith (Syracuse University, USA), Jane Jenson (Université de Montréal, Canada), Maureen Baker (University of Auckland, New Zealand), Sylvia Bashevkin (University of Toronto, Canada), Gwendolyn Mink (Smith College, USA), and Leah Vosko (York University, Canada). Women's Work is Never Done was published in cloth and paperback editions in the fall of 2002 by Routledge. |
