Beschreibung:
Valerie Bryson is Professor of Politics at the University of Huddersfield. She has published widely in the area of feminist political theory.
Women'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.
