| Resumo: | In recent years the impact of feminism approaches has revolutionised almost all aspects of the study of women's role in society, challenging previous assumptions about the nature of gender roles. This book draws on a wealth of current materials to provide an introduction to and an analysis of women's situation in British society. In a series of coordinated essays, the authors examine four key issues -the family, employment, education and health- challenging existing stereotypes of women's role, discussing contemporary research and providing alternative explanations. Adapted from the popular and innovative Open University course U221 : The Changing Experience of Women, this book is an invaluable introduction to feminist analyses which will be relevant to students and teachers of women's studies and to all others interested in the position in contemporary Britain.-4e de couv. |
