Extrait de la couverture : "All around the world, women work. Yet the work they do has always been, and continues to be, considered as less important than that performed by men. In many cases women's activities are not even acknowledged as work. Not only do women encounter more obstacles than men in education and training, but they are over-represented amongst the lowest paid, part-time workforce, enjoying few employement rights. Recognition of this has led to adoption of measures over the past two decades to eliminate gender discrimination and to promote equality of opportunity and treatement for women workers. Thos book is a contribution to the efforts being made, mainly by women themselves, to ensure that these intiatives are implemented. The author draws together research on gender, work and development, and emphasises that the concept of work should include not only paid labour but all of those activitie which contribute to production and development."

Shortlisted for the BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 2019. What’s it really like to be a mother with a career working flexibly? Drawing on over 100 hours of interview data, this book is the first to go inside women’s work and family lives in a year of working flexibly. The private labours of going part-time, job sharing, and home working are brought to life with vivid personal stories. Taking a sociological and feminist perspective, it explores contemporary motherhood, work-life balance, emotional work in families, couples and housework, maternity transitions, interactions with employers, work design and workplace cultures, and employment policies. It concludes that there is an opportunity to make employment and family life work better together and offers unique insights from women’s lived experiences on how to do it.

"Women Working" is a collection of readings by 15 academics and one attorney, all involved in teaching, re- search, and writing in the areas of economics, women's studies, sociology, and law. The credentials of the contributors indicate a high level of expertise in the study of the condition of women in American society. The book developed out of a common recognition among the editors and authors of a need for a "central reference" to support course work on "sex roles, women in the economy, the sociology of occupations, and industrial sociology" as well as course work in "management and labor, social stratification, marriage and the family, social problems, and social theory." To develop such a resource is a tall order, but the authors have admirably succeeded, concisely addressing the many factors necessary to understand the work women do and why they do it. According to the editors, the purpose of the book is to describe "women's market and non-market activities, their rewards, problems, in addition to original empirical and theoretical analysis of the work roles of women."

A mother-daughter legal scholar team "offers unabashedly straightforward advice in a how-to primer for ambitious women . . . [A]ttention-grabbing revelations" (Debora L. Spar, The New York Times Book Review) What Works for Women at Work is a comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation's most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today's workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead. What Works for Women at Work tells women it's not their fault. Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today's workplace. Distilling over thirty-five years of research, Williams and Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies—which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers. Williams and Dempsey's analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going beyond the traditional one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with advice on dealing with difficult situations such as sexual harassment. An essential resource for any working woman. "Many steps beyond Lean In (2013), Sheryl Sandberg's prescription for getting ahead . . . .[F]illed with street-smart advice and plain old savvy about the way life works in corporate America." — Booklist, starred review) "A playbook on how to transcend and triumph." — O, The Oprah Magazine
