Description

Working Women highlights the challenges and barriers that women face across cultures and brings a message of hope to those who continue their struggle in the silent spaces at work-both inside and outside their homes. The editors share accounts of women's struggles around the world: disability, divorce, abuse, family dysfunction and violence, racism, and class to name a few. The editors raise issues of defining women's work, work spaces and of the need to balance work with other roles as mothers, daughters and wives. Chapters look at women's experiences in the workplace in South Africa, the United States, New Zealand, and India. - from Amzon
