This wide-ranging and accessible book assesses policy alternatives in the light of feminist theory and factual evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book introduces mainstream ideas on the nature and political significance of time and re-frames them from a feminist perspective to provide a critical overview of policies in Western welfare states. Themes covered include gender differences in time use and the impact of 'time poverty' on women's citizenship; the need to value time spent giving and receiving care; the social meanings of time and whether we can talk about 'women's time' and 'men's time'; and the role of the past in framing policy options today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book is essential reading for all those interested in gender inequality, time-use or work\/rest-of-life balance. It will be an invaluable resource for students and academics throughout the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eValerie Bryson, Department of Politics, University of Huddersfield\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 21, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45892971364549,"sku":"9781861347497","price":72.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/o5XA1aaLQ-9781861347497.webp?v=1771919063","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/gender-and-the-politics-of-time-feminist-theory-and-contemporary-debates-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
