Women and the Family
Author: Beth Hess
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317954009
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Despite the pervasive changes that have taken place in women’s lives in the past twenty-five years--increased participation in the labor force, the attainment of higher levels of education, and higher salaries--comparable changes in the division of family labor and in the roles of men have lagged considerably. In this timely book, the editors and other experts in feminism and family studies examine the effects of two decades of influence by the women’s movement on sex roles and child rearing. While applauding some positive changes, the contributors point to powerful forces of resistance to equality between the sexes, especially “the question of family”--the fear of depriving children of maternal attachment and the belief that working mothers are placing their own interests above those of other family members--as an issue that, until fully addressed, prevents genuine equality between the sexes.

Rethinking the Family
Author: Stanford University. Center for Research on Women
Publisher: Longman Publishing Group
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Twelve original essays chart the latest developments in the debate over the future of the family. Focusing on the interaction between feminist critiques and recent defenses of traditional views of the family, this book highlights the second stage of contemporary feminist rethinking of the family. Outstanding scholars from a variety of disciplines examine key issues in this debate: the idea of the monolithic family, sexual division of labor and inequality, motherhood, parenting and mental illness, the relationship between family, class, and state. This book makes it clear why the family has emerged in the last decade as the political issue to claim everyone's attention.

Abolish the Family
Author: Sophie Lewis
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1839767200
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
What if we could do better than the family? We need to talk about the family. For those who are lucky, families can be filled with love and care, but for many they are sites of pain: from abandonment and neglect, to abuse and violence. Nobody is more likely to harm you than your family. Even in so-called happy families, the unpaid, unacknowledged work that it takes to raise children and care for each other is endless and exhausting. It could be otherwise: in this urgent, incisive polemic, leading feminist critic Sophie Lewis makes the case for family abolition. Abolish the Family traces the history of family abolitionist demands, beginning with nineteenth century utopian socialist and sex radical Charles Fourier, the Communist Manifesto and early-twentieth century Russian family abolitionist Alexandra Kollontai. Turning her attention to the 1960s, Lewis reminds us of the anti-family politics of radical feminists like Shulamith Firestone and the gay liberationists, a tradition she traces to the queer marxists bringing family abolition to the twenty-first century. This exhilarating essay looks at historic rightwing panic about Black families and the violent imposition of the family on indigenous communities, and insists: only by thinking beyond the family can we begin to imagine what might come after.

Exchange and Deception: A Feminist Perspective
Author: Caroline Gerschlager
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475734700
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
economic modelling and thought. Part three presents two case studies as examples of deceptive autonomy and shows the impact of this deception on the situation of women from the viewpoint of cultural studies and social anthropology. Part four relates methodological reflections on feminist and mainstream economics to the theme of the book. The first part of this book is devoted to a reconsideration of Adam Smith as a starting point for feminist perspectives on exchange. Drawing on Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments Caroline Gerschlager sets the stage for expanding the economic concept of exchange. She analyses and develops Smith's insight that deception is inevitable in the social setting. Smith's system of sympathy, which Gerschlager analyses as a system of exchange, i.e. exchange is conceived in terms of changing places in the imagination, is compared with exchange as conceived by the neoclassical approach. Her analysis reveals that these approaches arrive at contrasting results with regard to deception. Whereas in the former deception is vital to an understanding of exchange, the latter regards deception as an inefficiency, hindering exchange and ultimately making it impossible. Gerschlager points out that a certain degree of deception is inevitable, and that living in society therefore also amounts to "deceiving and being deceived".
